That’s why I didn’t put a time line because I wasn’t sure of his setup. OP more details

I see a household LED bulb hanging in the one picture.. can you tell us what your light setup is? That will play a major role in how long it takes to finish maturing

That's playing a major factor in finishing time as well. The plant needs a lot of energy to flower, mature, and put on a heavy swell. So you can expect a longer flower time. 10weeks at least, if not 12+

I agree reducing feed a little would be good they don’t need so much. Maybe give plain water next time and then cut the nutes down about 75% after that.

Your plant has 4ish weeks left maybe more. It’s not showing any signs of maturity yet so really it’s hard to make a fair estimate. Harvesting too early is one of the biggest mistakes I see growers make.

Typically once 90% the stigma(white hairs) have turned red the plant starts ripening. It has decided at that point it can’t reproduce any more and that it will bulk up to protect itself.

During this last 2-3 weeks, AFTER the stigma change, the buds won’t look like they are growing much on the outside, but they are bulking up and getting denser in the inside.

Near the end of that bulking stage is when you can start checking trichomes on the actual buds and determine when you want to harvest for your tastes. The real trick is learning to read the signs the plant is giving you. The terpenes are also developing during this ripening stage and harvesting early reduces that as well.

It’s very easy to harvest too early!

It’s very hard to harvest too late, and over ripen a plant. In my all years of growing and I’ve never seen someone accidentally over ripen a plant.
