When will she finish? Also something that looks like mold. Pics! 5 weeks flowering

I have been growing this strain, Dutch Passion Holland's Hope Feminized seeds, a indica/satvia hybrid (dominant indica). She has been flowering for 5 weeks and is on a south slope, been giving her 1 serving of Jack's Bloom nutes each week for the entire flowering period, she is around 6'6". I am leaving for college on Friday though, so I can't stay around to watch her trichomes fill in, but I can make a trip home to harvest. Since it's about a 3 hour drive I don't want to come up to see her still trying to finish, at the same time though, I don't want to come back to molding bud. So if anyone could give me an estimate that would be great.

My other question is about staking my plant up. My plant has been leaning due to the weight of her branches in combination to the wetness of the soil (it has been raining a lot). So today I was careful not to disturb any roots and used a tree limb to stake my plant up. The problem is that now many of her budsites and fan leaves are not directly facing the sun and I am worried this might effect my yield. If the plant was able to compensate quickly enough though, I think it would actually get more sun. However, I have no idea how long this would take, and am just wondering if she would probably be better off being let to "sag".



I am lastly concerned about mold or mildew, plant is supposed to be very hardy and resist them in addition to insects, however I found a leaf finger today black and curled, covered in something fuzzy. I carefully removed it, but if it's mold the spores have probably already spread to the rest of the plant. Been raining a lot recently as well. We are supposed to have a stretch of nice weather starting this weekend though, so it's possible it will be dry enough during the day and cold enough at night that the stuff all dies. I just want to be sure what I am dealing with and get a second opinion. It would be good to know if it is necessary to do something about it. If so, I only have tomorrow.





Thanks!

Keep it tied up, it will be ok. It would be better if it was supported in a way that maximized its surface area so it got more sun but you won't notice a drop in yield from that. My guess is it will be ready in like 4 weeks - so, go back in 4 and 1/2 I guess. If you know how long it has been flowering, I guess shoot for like week 10 or 11. Good luck man

Yeah if I were you I would check in 3 weeks then see how much time is left. You don't want to put it to chance. I once had to move out of my farm house in september so I had to sneak back to get my plants. I moved out the 1st of Sep, Checked them on the 25th and pull them on the 5th of Oct. Make an excuse or do what you have to do but go check on them more than once. :)
 
Alright, thank you for the replies. Depending on what the weather is like I will harvest between 3 and 5 weeks from now. If anybody could tell me if that is mold/what I should if it is, that would be much appreciated.
 
I went to check up on her today, just to see if she had maybe adjusted to being staked up, and amazingly she has already turned her flowers back towards the sun!

Plant is suppose to finish last week of Sept/Early October based on the breeder information, but I started her late (June 15th or so) and summer was really slow to start here, so I guess she is running late.

However, if anyone could tell me if that stuff is mold or something else, and if I have reason to be concerned I would be very appreciative.

Not sure what that is, but i'd think mold would affect more than an open air leaf. Just keep a close eye on her.
