I've found the plant finishes when it finishes, some of the seeds will be done early, and some won't, depending on when during pollination that particular flower was pollinated, whether week one or end of week two of pollination. And, don't forget, you're no longer feeding for one... But two thousand..

The purpose of the flower is to collect pollen, grow seeds, die, then let nature distribute seeds. The plant should be grown to complete maturity (near death) for the most mature and developed seed.

Pollinate at day 21 and harvest 6-7 weeks later. This is getting me very few immature seeds. My last F1 Chemdawg#4 × Gorrilla Glue run had 25 out of 25 germinate that way.

I simply let the seeds tell me when they are ready. The goal is seed development, the flower develpement time is irrelevant and usually gets thrown out anyway. There is plenty of useable flower provided during the tester phase. Running out of useable cannabis is never a problem and should not be a factor in a breeding program.
