How close to harvest?

This is my first ever grow. I need some help determining if these are around the 2 weeks until harvest mark.

I am starting to see some browning and curling on the pistils. I don't have a magnifier yet to look at the trichomes.

I am curious if it is time to start the flush.

Strains are:
Aurora
Ortega
Galactic Jack
Amnesia

They have been in flower for approximately 5 weeks. It seems a little too soon to be at the 2 week mark, but I thought I should ask, since I am still trying to figure out what I am doing.


Side note: Its interesting that I haven't noticed the yellow tips when looking at the plants. The yellow tips are sure apparent in the photos though. Too many nutes, correct?

The loupe will help greatly in when to chop .....you've got a ways to go but there looking good back off the food as mentioned above and be patient ...don't cut those frosty buds to early I know it's hard but you'll be rewarded big time ....those things are guna fatten up even more just let them be ......start doing your homework on trich colors and dry/cure to pass the time. Good job

Here's an update. These pics are at about week 7.5. I tried to get a close up and a shot a little further way. Are they nearing the 2 week to harvest mark?

I did by a jeweler's loupe. The trichomes still look clear to me, however they are still really hard to see, even with the loupe.

FYI. The flower guidelines for each strain that I found on the internet are as follows:
Amnesia - 9-10 weeks
Aurora - 9-11 weeks
Galactic Jack - 65 days (~9 weeks)
Ortega - 6-8 weeks

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

They look close. But I think they would really like some fresh water. They look distressed from over feeding. If you can get the leaves to relax a bit I bet she will finish up nice. Buds look so frosty.

Ortega,never really seen much about this or read that much on it looks lovely(screams hashish) they all do ,there not far of now,I found that i can get decent pictures on mcro mode on my phone just hold the phone really close to the plants and then zoom in on lap top,You can see if they tricones have colored by doing that
.
When i say close i mean the phone is near touching the plant ,you be suprised at just how good a macro shots you will get,with my dslr camera i can get amazing photo's but my phone does the trick then zoom on the lap top

Looking very nice dude
Enjoy.

The Ortega probably didn't grow quites as well as the other three. The plant is half the height of the other girls, 5' tall vs 2 feet tall. The way I built my lights, the light frames span 2 plants. So, I cannot drop the lights down to accommodate her shorter height.

The plants I have in veg right now, I tried LST to combat this.

How long do you all think it will be before I need to flush and switch to pure water for the rest of the flowering process?

If you keep asking about flushing your asking for some butt hurt lol. Many believe flushing is a myth re better smoke, I tend to think in some cases it does help with unwanted taste if using certain additives (helped my situation) but I typically do not and learned my lesson as per certain things I should not use lol

Forget the stupid flushing argument. It is just a tool to be used when needed. Like all the other stupid arguments here.

But that plant wants fresh water bad. The best advice in gardening is to learn to read your plants.

And take care of them as individuals. Their needs can be very different.

Growing multi strain gardens is challenging.

They need a tapering off of nutes regardless as they have way less need for them during ripening.
