First time growing, ready for harvest ?

[junecon]

My first time growing. i have three strains up and going magnum auto, pinapple express and gelato.
i had a lot of problems during the first few weeks, like temperature controll (way to hot) and low humidity and air curculation as well as not adjusting ph when watering so i gave them 8.4 tap water to start with, after week 4 i went to ph 6.2. growing in gold label soil. my plants are week 9 now and budding up i guess but i am not really sure when to tell if they are ready or not, i have seen some brown hairs on most and my magnum is a low plant but very compact and starts to smell heavy like cat piss ^^.
i have a mini magnifier to look on thriocomes but i am not really sure what exactly to look for. i post a few pictures so any of you with some experience can give me some advice. also some plants are high and skinny so i tried to support them so they don't tip over cause of the weight on top. i also had some problems with underwatering and giving nutes a few times with bloom during my grow. any advice and tips would be appreciated. thank you.

Also when should i flush and how many liters water needed for an 11 liter pot ?

Flushing is kinda controversial. From the science that I understand and believe Flushing won't take excess nutrients out of the flower. There's enough anecdotal evidence to support that it is doing something but it's not cleaning out your flowers so to speak. There's many people on here who I respect a fair bit and grow nicer plants then I have yet done and they dont flush at all, and others who do awesome work and swear by it. You can also put them in the dark for 48-72 hours before you harvest seen some recent evidence that has some actual effect. I do it personally and I think it makes a difference. Anyways its all up to preference. As far as I can see from your pictures I personally would say they aren't done. I see way too many white pistils to me anyways. Hard to see the trichomes clearly but they don't seem amber or really even all that cloudy yet I think you have a little while to go still. Someone else will chime in I'm sure with more opinions and more experience as well. Good luck to you though and really to me I wouldn't stress as it's all learning and really it's fun and rewarding so try not to be too concerned whole you are learning

I can't remember the thread it was in I screenshot it to show my brother who isn't on this site. Hope any of this was helpful and once again good luck
