Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

They are right at 52 days..I've noticed that the pistils are not near as stark white as they were and some of the inside and lower buds have some orange on them. I've also noticed that the calyx's are starting to fatten up as if they are holding seeds, which they are not. I just want to try to get some general idea so that I can flush the plant for a few days before I go to cut her.
Although there is that ever going debate on wether to flush or not....I think I"ll border on the safe side and flush...

I would bet you have another three weeks before chop. Check the trichs every few days. They say if you use organic nutes you don't need a flush but whether I grow organic or otherwise I flush even if its just for the psychological benefit.

Thanks for the advice, I've misplaced my pocket microscope so I"ll have to pick another up in the next couple of days. Bright side is with three weeks left it should put on some more weight ;)

I'm pretty sure I read in another thread that each strain develops differently. So my thought was that I could start flushing when I saw 50/50 clear to cloudy but could this happen more than a week before it is ready?

I thought I would go with rought 75/25 cloudy to amber as this is supposed to be a more 'heady' high?

well this one is taking a while over what i had expected ( going in 4th week of flower:-?:-?:-?:-?)
Looks good. But did you really expect it to finish faster than 4 weeks? That is crazy!! 8 weeks is pretty much a minimum for flowering.
Not 8 weeks from seed but 8 weeks of 12/12. I have never seen one finish faster than that.
Looks Sativa but I could be wrong so you can prob expect a 10-12 wk flower

Need opinions on 3 strains I have going in my basement. This is my very first grow I have ever done lol never even grew a flower before this. I think I'm doing ok for first my first cherry breaker crop. So these are the ones that I have coming being 8 weeks old into flower on tuesday. I have kevorkian blue cheese and jack herer ready for harvest.these blue cheese in the last 2 days started to develope some purple on the leaves and bud.So should I wait another week or two and see what happens? Do you think they are ready for harvest? Trichomes are 90% cloudy on them with a few ambers. I've been flushing now for a week and was thinking i would probaly end up doing a bubbler flush on them also in a dark room in no rush to harvest. This is personal smoke so I'm looking for qaulity over weight. Soil grow under hps light and full line of fox farm nutes and bloombastic. Thanks for any comments I can only get better with help =). Pic 7 is of a jack flash I accidently loaded up I am figuring on a few weeks for the flash still alot of white hairs still.

1. jack Herer
2 & 3. kevorkian
4 & 5. Blue cheese
