These are about 6 weeks into flower, got some bud shots of one of em, they all look basically the same lots of red hairs and what not. This is my first grow, so judging when they are around a week til harvest is a little beyond me. So my question is, are these ready for the final flush, like are they within the 2 week mark of harvest?

You could flush now or wait for the last week, it all depends on the amount of nutes you used in the grow process. If you barley used any nutes you will barley have to flush, if you used a lot well then you get the idea...the flush is just to remove excess salts from the soil and aid in the quality of the finial product. Here is a trick, start your flush now, a week before harvest break off a fan leaf and suck on the stem. If it taste like water then your flush is complete, if it taste like chemicals or if it's bitter then you need to keep flushing
And yes she does look like she will be ready in a couple weeks...I would say two more maybe three (but two will probably be okay)

I'd guess the plant has around 3 more weeks.
I'd keep on a feed-water-feed-water regime for the next 2 weeks, flush with tap water until the drainage comes out with less than 0.2mS EC more than your tap water and keep watering the plant with molasses for the last week.

Thanks guys, I think I'll just flush em next week right before my Journal update, then continue on with water only. Used the full amount of nutes in the directions of the bottle, so I'll flush pretty heavily, been saving up water lol. So since you guys say theres about 2-3 weeks left, i'll give em another week. Thanks for the advice fellas.

If they were mine I'd let them grow normally for the next week, then flush for the 7-10 days and begin your finishing process. They look pretty ready, great job man!

I don't flush though so I may be off here, just going by what I have read.
