Perhaps a semantically better option is to say you expect to harvest...
Harvest dates can vary widely. If you experienced any issues along the way this adds time till harvest. In my setup I feel IF the tent warmed faster in the morning it could shorten the grow time and add to the weight.
60 degrees at 60%RH for 16 days. The more large stem the longer it takes to dry. I like to remove lots of leaf while the plants are still standing. The "harvest window" is not a narrow slot to aim for but a wide range of preferences. Days or even weeks.
When you get into the plants your hands will get very sticky. I use a bottle of spray alcohol to get it off my hands. Spray and rinse and spray and rinse and wash and wash but, that smell is still there on my hands. Smell my finger. The other finger.

Lol no one can tell by a photo, really. I’ve posted pics of finished buds and was told I needed 2 weeks (when not even asking for advice).

That said 60 days is really quick, most cultivars range from 65-90 days, not that 60-65 is unheard of though. I used to grow a 55 day plant that just didn’t like going longer.

Best advice I have (only applies I f you took clones) is to chart what day you chop, dry, cure and smoke. Knowing how many days you took your plants allows you to tweak for longer / shorter flower time next run based on your expert visual, smoke and high experiences. I’ve charged flower times for ever 1st run plant I’ve grown for about 11 years now. Really takes any guess work out.
