You think there ready?
it looks ready too me if i was you i would start the flush right away and chop them bitchessss
also here is something i copied from another post i posted it on

Im on my second grow heres what ive learned.
If your new / are using soil / adding fertilizers and dont know what your doing you will probably need too flush or your smoke will be nasty af black ash super harsh on the lungs. According too a book by ed rosenthal flushing is the process of breaking down sugars and starches and according to advanced nutrients you need to flush out the heavy metals found in your fertilizers.
My brother would grow in hydro and flush the plants for 12 hours only! But if your growing in soil id recommend a flushing solution like flawless finish and too flush for a minimum of 7 days. Flushing for 2 weeks is most likely over kill.
Good luck with your grow hopefully you dont drop the ball at this point. Because if you mess this step up your smoke will be harsh and nasty.
sorry for spamming your post i just felt like i should post this on here since alot of people are telling you not too flush but are not giving you advice on how too finish the grow without your smoke being nasty af! shame on all of you.

I learned over the years trichs are a shitty way to determine readiness for harvest. Go by bud swelling, hairs turning red and receding into the bud. Don't bother flushing, it's been proven to be pointless. Not sure why you buy into that urban bro myth.

The root membrane of the plant is one way; in only. You can not remove anything from your plant. The only thing flushing does is remove nutrients from the substrate. Flushing is for the substrate, not the plant.

The plant does all its' feeding from the substrate so what do you plan to feed it during your last 2 or so weeks?

Anyway your plant looks beautiful. I hope you have a successful harvest whatever you choose to do.

We need pictures of the entire plant not a couple buds.

I have some Cannarado White Papaya that would really like to flip to flower. But my flower table is not cooperating. So I will be cloning them and running their clones as they are now too large to flip. So artificial time tables don't matter to them. Because I really wish they did.

Still looks like a lot of white pistils in there, although it's a bit hard to make out with the flash. They look healthy enough, I'd let them go a full 10 weeks at least, and meanwhile just keep doing what you're doing since it seems to be working out so far.

Yh I know thanks tho
Also, @curious2garden touched on it. Get the 10 week number out of your head as far as when to do stuff. That said, take notes, count days, record what and when you do stuff. For you. Not for the plant. The plant will finish when it finishes. But if you take great notes, keep a running grow journal, etc you will know what to expect next time you grow that same plant. (From clone will give repeatable results. Seeds should be at least in the ballpark, but will have different outcomes for different phenos)

Beautiful plants, as Mick said you chopped your solar cells so things are going to move a little slower. But I'd say you have 2-3 weeks. They look like they are about ready to start bulking up. Now would be a very bad time to stop feeding them. The plant will slow down uptake that's when you back off your feed a little, say I'm at 1000 PPM I'd drop to 750ish.

If you too have plants that are screaming they want to flower, now would be the time to take clones.
