Every time I open this thread I am amazed. Fantastic job with this grow.
When was the last time you fertilized the Hollands hope plant a couple posts up? (At the time of photographing it.)
The claw like leaves in the second pic could mean you gave them a bit too much.
As for when to harvest, your best bet is to go to radio-shack and buy a jewelers loop for 10$. With that you can inspect the trichomes to determine when to harvest. Here is a chart you can reference.

thanks allot guys,I'm excited too.
not sure when i fert the hollands hope last but i didn't since
because i fert it like i did with the rest of the girls and that was a mistake,but i think its fine now,and it smells very special,citrus like,i grew it b4 but only outdoors and it was amazing but the aroma now is something else.
as for the white widow,just from what i can see with the naked eye
it looks like 40\60 now,and i have a feeling its time for two of the girls,should i flush?
can i cut just the big buds and try to get a second grow\harvest?

I would flush now, yes. And yes, you can just harvest what is ready and allow the rest to mature some. I've done it myself  . Great job!

You just do it once. What I do is run the volume of the pot x 2 w/ distilled water. In other words, if its a 1 gal pot. I run 2 gal of water through it. Normally my flush is also my last watering. It helps speed up drying in my humid conditions by about a day.

Its obvious when it turns nice and milky. When it appears (with the naked eye) that the milkiness is going away, thats when they are turning amber. You should get a jewelers loop or a "insect" microscope that are available from many hydro vendors. They are both cheap.

Oh yeah it can take up to 8 weeks or more. Don't stress. Yeah, I would recommend letting the pot dry out a bit, and then hitting it with the nutes one more time.

Hey can you turn the growlight off for a sec. Turn the flash on you cam and try to get some closer, even macro, pics of the buds. I'm having trouble seeing the trichomes in the pics.
It would just help us to see exactly where you are at.

I love the nice even canopy, did you train them like that or top them at all?
If you have any organic nutes around, this would be the time to use them and flush again in about a week. (Organics not required but some people think they help the taste a bit.) I made the mistake of flushing early a couple times and it delayed the maturation of my colas I believe.
As far as getting a nicely colored shot of plants under a HPS light, check to see if your camera has a custom white balance feature. If it does, you just take a picture of a white sheet of paper when its being lit by the hps, and set that picture as the custom white balance. Any pictures you take after that will be perfectly colored. Just remember to change it back when you're finished or else all your pictures will be tinted blue.

i took the pictures with my phone,this ones i took with my cybershot 5.1(also not that great).
i didn't train them but i rotated them on a daily base so they will get the same amount of light because its a little crowded there.
as for the nutes,the all grow is organic,thats what i use,
the moment the pots will dry a bit i will give a mix of bloom\topmax for the last time and than wash for a week.
here are some pictures
i forgot the shrooms outside all night when the fan was on the weed timer(off) and they got wet again from the humidity,almost dry again by now( hope i want forget again  )
i want to smoke that shit 
thanks

Man, you are about done. Nice looking crop  . If you have already added nutes, I would flush in a couple of days, wait three more days, and harvest. Keep us posted.

Its looking good. Those trichomes look real milky to me  . Maybe its the photo, but otherwise you should harvest anytime. Be sure and post pics of the manicured buds.
