Plants look good & healthy!
How far along are you into flowering? how many days?
Buds look good, but maybe a little small w/400W HPS. I think you got a couple weeks to go.

Am I ready to start flushing/ripening
You are ripening all the time!
No need to flush (add 3x pot volume w/just water) with organic grows. If you think you are <2 weeks before harvest, you could start feeding just water. Some organic growers feed straight through til the end.

I add ~1 tsp molasses/gallon water every other feed, starting with week 4.
I don't use ro, just tap water (after ~2 days rest)

I switched to 12/12 on new years. They were started from seed before thanksgiving, they showed sex before I switched em so it would be about week 6/7 of flower. They have been very healthy the entire grow besides a mag def that was corrected within a week of showing signs. They are really begining to pull the green from the sun leaves. I know I have at least 2 weeks to go, I am just very inexperienced when it come to the flower and finish stage of growing. I only have one harvest under my belt and it was small, but good quality, 1oz off two plants at about 90days total, 3 Weeks veg but neither plant really seemed to bulk up like some of the growers I have seen on the site. This current grow they look 100 times better.

I switched to 12/12...So day 47...I am just very inexperienced when it come to the flower and finish stage of growing
I count from the first sign of pistils, usually around 10 days after 12/12 for me.
But the number of days is not the sole factor to determine your harvest date. The plant should look 'done' (pistils receeding, calyx swollen, some foxtailing, trichs cloudy).
Can you monitor the condition of your trichs?

This grow looks good, you should have a much better harvest.
Keep up the good work & be patient !

Yes I have a 30mm 40x loupe and a 60x-100x mini microscope. I was just wondering if I should cut back to mollases water, I just read on the seedism website its a fast flowering 7-8 week, and all three showed their female hairs before the switch. I have been watering with calmg, neptunes harvest, worm tea, just wondering when I should stop that and give just water/mol
