Please help! How far into flower is she?

I’m hoping to get some input. I’m new to cannabis growing but have been gardening for years. I’m having a difficult time determining how long this girl has been flowering because I didn’t recognize stretch or budlets for what they were and just thought she was in a weird growth pattern. To my credit, she started (finished? I’m unsure) stretching in mid-late June, way before I was expecting it. She had been outside since April, so it wasn’t premature flowering. I have eight other plants outside, and none were stretching or flowering at that point. Most are flowering now, however.

About the plant: She’s a green crack bag seed. Smells amazing - like grape jelly. I have three other GC bag seeds growing and none smell like her. Some of her pistils have been brown since the get-go, probably due to heat (it’s often over 100 degrees here) and being sprayed weekly with BT, which seems to turn pistils brown. She’s just now getting glimmers of trichomes on her.

I know she must be over 4 weeks in flower, but beyond that I don’t have a clue. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like she went out too early and is in an in between state. All you can do is wait. Her bud sites should organize more as time goes on.

Not sure about there age, almost impossible to tell you but I can say STOP SPRAYING her. You risk bud rott and whatever taste chemical from bt.

(Don't know what bt is but assume it's a foliar feed or bug prevention?)

Yeah looks like it "re-vegged" because of those fan leaf blades that are solo as opposed to a five+ "fingered" leaf.

If it's your only plant, keep it. If you have nicer plants nearby; you might wanna cull it in case it produces Hermie pollen.

What point it's at in flower is irrelevant, what matters is how much time is left. And it looks like a good 5-6 weeks left. I'd check back in with new pictures in a month for a checkup. GL

Edit: Just saw what @SidV posted. Definitely stop spraying anothing in flower. It's a recipe for disaster.

BT is a bacteria that kills catipillars. Its totally acceptable in fact its advise to use throughout flower to stop bud worms which will cause bud rot.

Everything I’ve read says it’s very safe to spray weekly with BT up to harvest. Don’t really want to lose my plant to caterpillars.

Thank you for clarifying that. I am going to look into that as it seems almost a necessary item to have if you grow outside if you can use throughout the life cycle.

Generally spraying in flower is almost guaranteed disaster but I just got looking it up after Wizzlebiz pointed out it's ability to be used during flower. Completely understandable that you don't want your stuff eaten to the ground.
 
How ever long it was going to take to ripen you can add an extra month for the reveg
I don’t think it has revegged. I think it got stressed when I had a significant powdery mildew outbreak after a week of straight rain. I had to cut a lot of leaves off to stop the spread. It showed no other signs of revegging: no single bladed leaves, no curling, no other weirdness. Two others that were also pretty severely affected reacted similarly with 3-bladed leaves. But my other 6 plants, all of which are in the same garden as the three that DID grow 3-blades leaves, did not show stress and the leaves are perfectly normal.

BT is just a bacteria. It is safe during flower.
