Length of time flowering

I had been away about six weeks, my boyfriend tended to the garden, pulling males and watering. So I don't know exactly when they started blooming. He says a week but they looked like they were thinking about flowering in late July... when they actually did is anyone's guess I think. He might not have noticed, but pointed out the one that started flowering first, the rest are in bloom now, some more than others, but can one approximate by looking, how long they've been in flower?

I watched YouTube videos that were called "five weeks in flower" "fourth week", etc, and mine looked just a tad behind.

I am growing outdoors, where it's illegal, so I am anxious to be done with the paranoia, and get it harvested so I can relax. I didn't know they were going to grow to ten feet tall, seriously. I thought it did that in the tropics, Hawaii and Mexico and South America... not northern Wyoming...

On top of that, several of the plants split into thirds or quarters, the branches fell or arced to the ground, but continue to thrive. The branches that broke, since they are now horizontal, have sent up shoots and made more tops and THOSE are flowering. The stuff is all over, if landed on my tomatoes and carrots and took over the yard and garden. I'm literally overrun with the stuff... like I'm complaining!

The only way I know how to post is by thumbnails, and it takes a while, but I will post a few pictures.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Here is a stalk of flowers

The broken trunks and the thriving branches.

Lilac colored flowers. Under a magnifying glass, I can see tiny sparkles on the inner surfaces of the leaves and on the flowers. I'm not sure how small the trichone heads are, but they must be tiny...

moon, when is first frost for you?

northern Wyoming, the average is sometime this month (sept) The next ten days look okay, though, lows in the forties, ighs mid seventies.. but the weather can go from hot to snowing in a few hours... it's weird ass Wyoming mountain weather. That's a concern.. plus getting caught (zero tolerance state).

I'm not sure when they started flowering... but I think they look 4-5 weeks in.

not many strains can finish up at 44°N. I think you need about 4-6 more weeks of growing season to finish your ladies.
Sorry.
Next time use autos or search out a strain that is sucessfully grown in the N. Your Wy mountain sunhine can likely grow some fire

We are still running in the sevenies and 80's in the day... I perused the "FROST" thread and it seemed that the general concensus was strong healthy in-the-soil plants could well survive a couple light frosts, high twenties and such.

I'm pretty sure I've got four weeks... but like I said, never can tell.

I ran out of smoke, so I picked a few smaller flowers from the plants, dried them, and they already give me a buzz. Just not real potent yet, but not bad for quick-dried, early season smoke.

I'll have to watch the weather and the plants, if they don't make it through a frost, I'll just cut them and dry them. My plants are freaky big, so I'll still have a lot,... which is good cause it might take a little more to get high.

I actually didn't expect much... I tried to grow in California several times, but think I over loved them, and never got a plant taller than like 6-8". They would turn yellow and keel over. These were bag seeds (I had hundreds) from a friends "missed-the-male" grow. I germinated them and put the little plants out in the garden...

I had no idea they would become monsters and take over. They split and the branches are all over, still growing and flowering, covered my vegetables, made shade as they are so tall, crowded other things out.. and I had more males than females... I had thirty to start.

Talk about jumping in the deep end...

Hey how is it working out with finishing up the plants?
