Help 1st time, running 4 different strains, blue gelato 41,meat pie, shiskaberry and bubba island kush

1st timer alert but im doing well.
I chucked myself in deep end and ran 4 different strains. ( blue gelato 41, shiskaberry - barneys farm. Bubba island kush - dutch passion and meat pie - cannarado x genetics.)

Im on week 6.
I know there all indica dominant. I did label them but decided to remove as i thought it would be fun to guess the strain. Wish i never

Running time for each is as follows,
Shiska 63 days
Bubba 49 to 63 days
Blue gelato 41 63 to 70 days
Meat pie 56 to 70 days

1st question is do i have to flush ?
Growing in soil and coco mix
Using shogun samarai bloom.

2nd thing thats worrying me is some of the top buds are drying up.
Not the whole bud but just a part of it.
Looks like its ready, but only on week 6 so it cant be ready yet ! Or can it ?

Lights are off so can get a better pic in morning
Using 600w hps in a 4 x 4,
Planted 8 2 flopped over so removed

Whats the best method for harvest ?
Do i keep them in darkness for 48hours ?

Whats best way to start the drying process once i chop them ?

Never plan harvest date for any plant unless you are running clones of the same over and over.
From seed, you should plan to harvest when they are finished

Those plants look pretty crispy.. You may want to cut back on the nutes quite a bit

Curly canoed leaves like that...heat, light or wind issues among other options.

Tops of the buds drying and leaves curling? What's the temp and how close are the lights. It sounds like you've got a setup problem.

Questions that can not easily be answered in a response. If you have not researched how to dry and cure at all. start now. It is one if the hardest things to do correct.

Its kinda one of those...here let me google that for you things. Sorry if that is a lil harsh. But tis the truth.

The good news is that there's lots of detailed info here and other places...and if you read it all then 'triangulate' there's a good likelihood it'll work.

Yeah, there's something going on setup wise in my estimation to get that curling like that then your description of the buds at the top drying out... I had the curling and it was both light & my fans being too close and too strong.

Trust me ive spent hours reading and watching videos, but theres so much
1 person says put in darkness 2 to 3 days, some say dont, some people flush some dont, some feed nutes to the end some dont.
So thats why i asked.

Wanted to know peoples methods im new to it all so no harm in asking but guess in your case there is

Thanks for advice
Think it could be the fan i had it blowing on the plants.
Will re position in morning so its blowing above them

Also can i dim my 600w to 400w ?
Just looked and i had it on 660w, could also be the problem

Could be, especially if your tent isn't very tall. Grab a copy of Photone for your phone and spend the 5 bucks or whatever for the light profile you need and meter it for PPFD and for DLI. That will tell you if you're just blasting the eff out of them.
