These pics are from today. Also, how do I know when to start flushing?

Thank you in advance.

 

[TripsRabbit]

I would start to taper down or flush right now, I'd say they have a week or three max.

 

[pdasterly]

not yet

Still have quite a few white hairs. Report back in a week and see what happens

Note to @Potlady check the trichomes only for amber/cloudy/clearness, not the sugar leaves. Use a loop, 10% amber, mostly cloudy is what you’re looking for... Very tough to do at long distance without in focus up, close shots... Also we can’t tell much from shots in your artificial light, use either flash or just day light for shots...

These were taken today.

Suggesting a little diatomaceous earth topping to help rid your plants of the gnats...

Ok, here's what I have now. Hope the lighting is better. I personally think the first 2 plants are ready, but not the last 2. This is my first grow that made it lol.

What are the genetics, and are they photoperiod or auto?

You can look up the flowering time based on genetics (usually 8-10 weeks), should try to flush 1-2 weeks before harvest.

Two factors determine when to harvest: new pistil growth should slow to a stop, so most (80-90%) should be red and crispy. Trichomes should be milky opaque with 10-15% amber. Trichomes are more important than the pistils

Yours have too much new pistil growth (especially #2 and #3), and the trichomes look opaque-ish with no amber, but can't really tell from the pics. Use a jeweler's loupe.

The first pic or 2 look like they're really close, I agree with the guy above^^^^ A little more info on what you got would help. Those first 2 pics will be ready within 7 days i would think.

All I know is that they are super silver haze. Got from a friend. Thanks guys!

I don't have a jeweler's loupe yet.

 

[Potlady]

Same question guys? Thanks in advance. Also, my leaves are starting to die. Is that normal?

 

[JimmyCreedog]

It was a good idea to wait these last 3 weeks, but I think you're ready. Give 'em 24 hours dark and then chopchop.

Really!!!??? Oh I'm so excited. So all 4 plants are ready??? I've only been flushing them for about 5 days. Is that ok? Thanks Jimmy

Having some kind of microscope or loupe would be ideal, but it's just an aide, just another tool ya know.

How many days total of 12/12 so far?

By all means finish your flush, if you need a couple extra days to stay on your mental schedule, do it. Growing pot shouldn't be stressful.

 

[Potlady]

I didn't keep track of how long on 12/12. They're actually about 20-25 weeks old. I greatly appreciate your help.
