How much longer before harvest?

[Newgrow20]

Howdi folks....this is my first grow and has been a learning experience. Needs some help....these are 2 feminized auto Gelato's....I am not sure if they were just a slow strain. They are on week 16 switched lights to 12/12 2 weeks ago.
Will these buds get bigger? How much longer do they need?
Should I increase the light schedule or keep at 12/12?
When should I start flush?
Sorry for all the questions any help would be greatly appreciated

You are still 3 or 4 weeks from harvest and yes they will get much bigger if you have enough light. Stay on 12/12 or they could re-veg .

Thanks should I increase the hours back to 20/4?

How long ago did they start to show signs of sex and start budding? I just finished week 8 total, about 4 of those weeks were in bloom, gonna give them about 3-4 more weeks and will start to flush in about 1-2 weeks. so 7-9 weeks of blooming, depending on strain and environmental factors.

I don't think that auto's will start to reveg, from what I know (which isn't much). The autos can take a lot of light, most people running indoors go 18/6 and never change it.

I had them at 20/4 light schedule until week 13-14 someone suggested I flip to 12/12 right after that they popped. They have been blooming about 2.5 weeks

Why? They're auto's... Or am I missing something?

I think some auto's must get stuck and the 12/12 makes them bloom. If you have only been in bloom 2.5 weeks, you have about 5-6 weeks left roughly. so feed for another 3-4 weeks and then start the flush for 1-2 weeks after that.

Hopefully you have a bloom fertilizer, they will want heavy doses of that for the next 3 weeks. And if you have some unsulphured black molasses, I would add some as well. About a tablespoon/gallon is what I am doing. Supposed to help the organisms in the soil and then produce more trichomes and bring out the terpines to their fullest. Only water with the molasses in addition to your nutes once a week for the next 3.
