Thanks guys. Well the flowering days are 55-60 days, and I'm at day 49 now, I was thinking next Monday day 56 because it works well with my work schedule as I'm off til Friday and that gives me 3-4 days to trim them while they dry.

The pic was also of one of the outer plants, the ones directly under the light look more ripe for sure

^^^^yes it's hard to tell without seeing the whole plant and looking at all aspects like growth. Had it stopped growing, re water uptake? Have the shade leaves started to fade a bit? And are the triches cloudy? Unfortunately I have had more strains take longer than stated than taking less time, one I think lol. Taking it to early will negatively affect taste, yield, and quality in general. Honestly I tend to take a tad early because I'm typically running out lol.

2 weeks at least and flushing isn't necessary. A proper hanging time and curing time is vital. Don't rush through these critical processes.

Plants are ready when they are ready, not according to work schedules.

2 more weeks
I agree,they could be took down yea,but if possible,if left for min of 2 more week you will see far more bud for your effort,they have only just started to crown.But I understand some times you gotta do what ya gotta do,but I would try my hardest to leave them.

But sometimes you hand is been forced,I had to rip a crop down a few week ago at week 3 of flowering the lot went into the compost heap,they was monsters too ,talk about gutted but shit happens ,but look for a way of leavening them.
