those look nice and healthy, but you have a long way to go still! its kinda hard to give an estimate, but i would wait at least 4 more weeks and go from there.

I see many different stages of growth. Some 4 weeks away, some 8 to 10. Am guessing it's a Sativa/Indica hybrid. If these pics were all taken at the same time I would suggest you are heading for a split harvest.
This is where decisions can be tough in an outdoor grow, depending upon your climate/frost danger.
The two extremes of a split harvest are as follows.
You can cut half (the mature half) down, expecting to cut the rest down a couple of weeks or later. The trouble with this is it tends to 'shock' the plant and the 2 weeks you were expecting becomes 4.
The other option is to harvest about 20% of the buds at a time, 4 or so days apart. Shocks the plant less.
Thes timings are very approximate and this is just to give an idea of the theory. It also depends on growth habit, light, variety etc. Your own situation/climate will have more of an effect than anything. It's whatever is best for you.

All the plants were planted on July 5, from rooted clones. I'm using tiger bloom (fox farms) now and was using Schultz 10-15-10 before that.... been also hitting them with milk spray to prevent pm.... The pics were takin at the same time... Idk why they would be at different stages??? The planet are Dutch treat and elephant. The elephants are the taller ones about 3 feet and the Dutch are small about foot and a half....

P.s I should have mentioned, the main problem with a split harvest is that you have to be far more organised in your drying/ curing. It only takes a few mason jars and a marker pen and preferably a few spare humidity meters but you have to treat each 'cut' seperately. My last cut was done in 3 but I am fortunate enough? to be growing inside.
It is cool seeing the different stages in the dry/cure though. Really helps you learn and get a feel for each different variety. My first cut of the last grow (5 weeks ago) is just turning now (few purple buds!) and my g/f keeps trying to pull a nice bud out!. I keep saying 'NO! USE THE POPCORN'. The popcorn is running out and the big budz are just losing the last of the 'green look'. My other two jars are still green but I only open them 10 mins a day. I figure by the time I get through the first jar, they should be lovely (2-3 months curing)

I had very little was watering at night I clipped the pm leafs and hit the with a sulfur spray and fallowed up with the milk spry. Got the tip for milk spray here... I didn't have milk one week and use hydrogen peroxide.... Right now I see no pm at all....

ok here is a shots of a same plant the 25th last mount so about 4 weeks ago...
now here is the plant pic taken the 18th a 24 day spread 4 day short of 4 weeks, so i feel they could be 4 weeks in flower. I could be wrong. this is my first time and dont know the changes and what to look for... but I have lots of pics, as i take pics every time I go out.

Did you notice that the plant it trimmed? is that a good thing? did I do good trimming to bring in more light? the dutch treat where super bushy plants. the person that gave me the clones has some in door and there so super bushy and short but have big buds.... as soon as I trimmed them white pistils started to pop in a week and a half.
