well its diffrent for each plant.. you need to look at the trichomes... but yeah alot of plants finish in the 8 week range.

Google the strain you are growing. Not hard to find that info. If it's a cross, you have a window.
If it's bagseed, when growth of new fresh white pistils slows, get out a microscope and look at trichs... Range for indicas starts at about 6 weeks....you have a range of finish times from there... through the crosses... all the way up to some crazy sats that take up to 4 MONTHS to finish.

I would say by the looks that you have maybe 3 more weeks to go. . .

Looks like it revegs alittle bit. I've had a plant or two do that before. If light leaks into the flowering room they will reveg and then reflower which makes it flower for 3 months. The buds will be bigger though in the end.

just keep checking the trichomes everyday, they can change within 3-4 days when they're ready; but yours look like they still have a few weeks left like freevenice said.

That plant looks hot and rootbound.
And has ~3 weeks to go, true.
Never try to reveg a plant during flower like that even if you think it's going to increase bud mass (it will make the buds thin and wispy actually)... you are setting yourself up for herms.
Same with heat stress... herm city.

The high N can make your plant think it's time to make lots of foliage.
Not specifically revegging, but you don't want all that energy wasted on growing leaves!
Flush it out.

amber trichomes are degraded, you should harvest at 50/50 clear/cloudy or 80% cloudy

If a plant revegs do the flowers that are already on there keep ripening or do they stop and restart when the light goes back to 12/12? If they keep going does that mean they will be wayyy overripe by the time the rest of the buds are done?

The ones that are already on there will keep ripening.
When you go back to 12/12 you're gonna get herms out the ass, so just don't do it. Unless you are trying to make feminized seeds.
