What does the light manufacturer say about light distance in bloom? I’d be happy to look it up for you if you give me the info.

Autocobs are the lights. There is a lot of info here, on AFN. These cobs are pretty intense. You could probably get away with lowering for John, or raising John.

I was thinking same thing but am as confused as a porcupine in a balloon factory as to HOW close to get the lights.
Up till now I was keeping the 24 to 26''. (I think)
They are presently 25'' from John and 20''+ from the high points on the rest.

If they're too close, you'll see the tops of the buds getting pale and there will be some odd looking growth. Personally I don't mind a TINY bit too close as the lower buds will get more of the good stuff but each to their own, obviously it's not an ideal situation but easily fixed.

That said, I've never used cobs. I'm still chucking my money away on running HPS, I'm sure someone will have some more cob-specific insight here.

I know I'm a broken record.
I'm even annoying myself...

To even this noob it appears there's a lot of bud left to form and fatten.
But you have no idea how many moons I've waited for this...
I'm about ready to vape a green leaf.

Soooo ~ How long to go till John is ready???
(or ready to test?)
Expert opinions???

Total noob here. My plant hasn’t even started flowering, ok? Patience is a virtue. Ask us in another week LOL.

Looking good get me a wide pic but to me looks like about 3 weeks or so. The hairs will all turn orange and shrivel up .Pro tip ..if you get a jerky maker fruit dryer you can get early samples .Early fresh samples are the best its a racy high its weird lol

Give her more time . I can't see any amber yet , I like about 10 to 20 % some people like more . With your lights, I have mine at 18 in from the main bud . Here is one I have going at the moment , 9 cobs to herself . Seed stockers Big Bud . Auto . 77 days , She will be close to 90 days before harvest .

You're still a way off, to be honest, you don't even really need to be checking the trichomes yet, the pistils are telling you all you need to know.
I know it's a drag but the longer you wait, the bigger potential your yield has.

You're just over 2 months from germination right? They look about right for that age to me. I can understand your frustration if you're expecting the "50-60 days from seed" this breeder claims. Frankly that seems ludicrous to me though.

I've no idea why breeders always make these outlandish claims as it only makes growers feel frustrated when they don't hit them, leaves people feeling like the genetics are inferior when they're probably perfectly decent. I would take a guess and say you've got 2 weeks of feeding and a week of flushing left, but only the plants will really know...
