Harvest in 2 weeks? with pics

So I'm growing purple kush, I'm on day 46. I was planning on letting these go for 8 full weeks. From an experienced eye does that seem about right with how these look now? I'm having a had time telling the difference between milky and clear as sometimes the clear looks milky at a certain angle. I also noticed a few amber ones in there, which got me thinking about all this. Let me know! Thanks!

2nd question. I have several plants, I'm assuming that sometimes one will be ready before another one, so do some people stagger their harvesting if that's the case?

The triches on sugar leaves that you have in the pictures mature much faster than the calyxes, so you should be checking those to see how far along they really are, if you dont know what they are check these pics, https://www.420magazine.com/gallery/data/500/20120830_194637.jpg and this one too, https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=31074&pictureid=709383

Thanks for that info. I was wondering that myself if I was even checking the right area of the plant.

Here's pics of the calyxes. And one of the whole plant. I guess they are still looking pretty clear?

Slightly clear going on cloudy, im thinking 2-4 more weeks. What light are you using?

OK 2-4 weeks would put me at the 8-10 I was originally told.

I'm using t5's. It's a 16 light array that I built myself. Why do you ask?

Also.... I was going to start flushing this week with just water for 2 weeks. But now I don't know if I should wait an extra week. When do people know to start flushing?

it's up to you if you would like to flush. Your plant is pretty healthy this far along in flower, flushing will hurt yield. Here's a few facts
-you cannot flush out what the plant has already developed but dont worry, the plant doesnt exactly take in what you give it anyway.
-the plant uptakes nutrients in the form of ions, meaning the root zone takes this in and breaks it down in its own form of sugar/protein/starch before mobilizing/storing through the plant.
-the plant uses more energy to eat itself then it does to eat from the soil
-flushing severely deprives oxygen to the root zone
-flushing severly deprives nutrients when needed, notice how fast you can yellow a plant in late flower after a flush?

Alright... well either way I'm going to probably push out my harvest a week. Thanks for all the knowledge. I can go to 10 different websites and get completely different methods on each one. Sometimes I over think each step. I just don't want to mess up. Thanks for the time.

Yup, remember cannabis is only one of a few things that is bearly legal with not really any scientific growth research. Thats why random information is all over the fucking wall, it can be hard to tell myth from fact without research.

I run the same mix right through and I finish it up with a 24 hour roots off flush in RO water directly after the chop and a slight pruning. Each 3-4 foot budded snip will suck up about 1/2 liter of RO water during this final and only flush...without the roots

Gotta get them new clones in directly. Nothing worse than an empty grow-op
