Are they ready for flushing?

First of all, I know that they are a bit scorched and to some it might appear as a deficiency or burn, but trust me it is heat stress. I've been battling this since the beginning, this is my first grow. Anyway, it's irrelevant now.
Right, they have been switched to 12/12 on 1 Jan 2014, so that makes it 8 weeks. I don't count the first 10 days waiting to show sex. So tonight I will feed them for the last time, and then leave them 2 weeks on empty stomach and water. Sorry for the bad quality camera. But the pistils are completely white still..

you look to have a sat. dom. there. it looks like you have a few weeks left too. be patient. sativas are soooo nice, but can take a bit longer to finish.

Start flushing in about a week and a half or when 50% of the trichomes have turned brown and the other 50% are a milky color. Agreed they/it are/is definitely Sativa

Thanks guys, I am in no super-hurry, but the weeks are adding up, so...

I fed them tonight, should I feed them again next week, or should I not..

i would.. they look great imo.. i also don't see any scorching or burning or w/e it was you're talking about going on either. look killer, especially for a first grow.. :D

but i agree, they have a few weeks on them, they look like they're starting to swell up now some, but still have some time left on them ime..

Good educated guess, one is swollen up, yes. The other two are lagging behind (there are 3 in total). One of the slackers is not swelling and is getting a little golden.

They are are gettin' burned—it just isn't visible much on the pics I took (on purpose :)). My temps are grand though, 24–25 degrees in the room, could be 26–27 at the tops. But the top fan leaves are a little crispy-like. The open 600W HPS without strong ventilation is a big big problem. I'd definitely underestimated the heat radiance. Next time cooled hoods all the way :)
