it depends entirely on the strain, can't see a flowering time listed for the bubble cheese
for the clones, someone should know how long they take..
for the seeds it could be more or less
on average most strains finish in 8-10 weeks and that is flowering time
your best bet would be to try 12-12 from seed

even that is cutting it fine
also hope your mate knows what he is doing, you are leaving an extremely vital part of your harvest in the hands of someone else, he could potentially ruin your entire crop.
good luck with that though.

If you're only going to be gone a week, let them grow properly. No sense rushing something only to end up with inferior results, especially if you have someone you can trust to keep an eye on them. Ten weeks, even if they are already in full flowering stage, is rarely long enough.

Hey dude. I believe you can achieve what you desire. My advice would be to veg under 24/0 for a week, then 18/6 for another week. Then flip to 12/12 - which will give you 8 weeks of flower (plus five days to play with). I am aware of the arguments supporting 12/12 from seed, but if you've got 2 weeks to play with, use it imo - they would only be vegging under 12/12 for those 2 weeks anyway (again, imo).
Every strain I've run - including the heavy sat doms I love so much - had usable bud by week 8. Not saying the sat doms would have been at their best, but they would still have produced an effect. More Indica dom strains like yours are often done by week 8 (you can take some at week 7 and not be disappointed). Closest to your strain I've grown was Blueberry Gum - they were all done by week 8. The cheese side of the genetics might extend her flower time a little, but I'm sure they will all be fine to harvest when you need to harvest.
