gelato is most definitely a hybrid.
You absolutely have at least 3-4 weeks. Those plants are still growing fresh bud and trying to increase your yields.

Okay I was following a fed chart forb7 weeks the chart says I’ve to start flushing on week 8 I’ve been flush with plain ph water at 6.0 for the past 5 days what you you recommended doing now ? Carry on feeding for a few more weeks then flush again ?? The company I got my seeds from says the flower time it 58/65 days

Its irrelevant what the seed company says, plants don’t follow calandars. Also the length of the grow cycle can be greatly impacted by the environment.

Gently feeding will allow the plant to finish its life cycle With the best results.

Look at the mid-canopy trichomes for milky heads, that's when I harvest. Also, pistils being orange is just one sign they are close to maturity, also look at the calyxes on the buds they will start to swell and get really knotty looking (which in your case has already started).

If you want a couple strains that can be harvested in as little as 50 days of flower look into Bubba's Gift or Critical Bilbo they are insanely explosive and fast finishing plants. Tasty smoke too.

Looks great for a first grow. There is a lot of personal preference that goes into when to chop plants. I like to chop them a little earlier than most. I do not like my weed giving me couchlock effect, as THC is exposed to light/air it converts to CBN (orange color you see in trichomes) and this is a different compound that will give you less euphoric/high effects and more stoned/tired/lazy effects. It really just depends on your preference, if I was someone that had trouble sleeping (LOL not at all) I would let my plants go longer, but I have not seen enough of a benefit letting plants go an extra 2 weeks for me to waste resources on it.

Some of my plants are cuttings that were taken as long ago as 2016 and are still going strong. I purposely have my stable full of fast growing strains that don't take more than 60 days of 12/12 to be harvestable.

I'm speaking purely from personal experience, sometimes users on here will say "another 3 weeks" and in my head I'm thinking "I would chop that". :eyesmoke:
