The suggested manufacturer times of when the plants are done are exactly that, suggested, they can sometimes go longer and other shorter. I find they are almost always within a week or two though from my experiences growing in soil. The times I have seen them go longer is when they are grown in Hydro under perfect conditions.
The harvest time will depend on the effects you want from the plant. I like to use the trichomes as an indactor of when its good to chop. little to no amber and the rest cloudy is my preferred time. Some users like a lot more amber as it gives a more sedative high and couch lock feel to it.
You are correct in amusing it is that many weeks from switching to 12/12 for estimated harvest time. Autos are the exception and they list the entire life cycle of the plant from seed to harvest. They are wildly unpredictable sometimes and can finish in a month if gown poorly or go over by 8+ weeks.
Good Luck!
