most of the plants in my garden are not ready however there is one or two which are looking quite done in my opinion (but i'm not an expert i admit) so should i start giving just water to the one in the picture or let it go a bit more on boost and feed?? help please...

They look real nice. You will have to look at the trichoms and this is something I have a hard time with. When the trichoms are all cloudy I should have flushed but I cut them down. This time when I think there ready I'll flush then cut. So get a loop and look at trichom. If you turn your hps off when ya take a pic it will be easer to see. They really look good.

don't start flushing too early or you'll starve the girls. i agree, u should really get a loupe or miniscope - GL

Lookin nice, keep em on the nutes until 5-7 days before harvest then just go water. Dont worry to much about checking trichs, i flush when majority of pistils are swollen even though i got a scope, come harvest then i will check trichs. theres no harm in a longer flush though, either way you will be fine

the hairs are still mostly white but brown ones are coming through is that a sign that they're about a week or so off???

basically you are flushingto remove the "chemicals" you may have been using ... it'll clean the taste of your product. and you probly don't wanna smoke that cocktail anyways.
but, if u grow organic you have no worries.
the longer you leave it, the more "couch lock" it becomes. An $8 radio shack magnifer would help you, if your hot on particulars... most plants will "tell" you when they're "done".
They look healthy to me. so if your feeding chems...i would flush for 2 weeks before harvest. i think its a triple dose of water twice a week.(hense the "flushing) then some say leave the plant in darkness 24 hrs to stress the plant to give it's all...then harvest.
