Hisser 5cm long nymph molting questions

SLE18

Fourth Instar
Got some 'giant' hisser nymphs the other day. this is my biggest. Noticed tell-tale white lines mainly on the gaps between segmants near the head. how long should it take to molt? How can I observe it? Do roaches hold off molting if stressed?

 
I have some Black Tiger Hissers that had "stretch marks" for a long time before they molted (MONTHS). They are all doing well and molting activity has increased with the heat of June. Seems to me you don't have to worry!

 
Yeah sometimes its weeks before shedding. They need to look really fat then you know they will shed soon.
