This will, of course, depend on your campaign parameters.

If the enemy can FTL right into orbit, is unopposed in space and can
start
dropping pods immediately, you are right.

Under most other assumption, you will have several days' warning,
presumably. Enough to assemble and equip troops (for an historical
example,
see the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War), but not for training.

Yes, six weeks is pretty unlikely.
