Should I start leaning the nutrient ppm levels from 800 ppm to lower as I keep approaching the end I am guessing I have an other week or two. Please and thank for your information.

You are way off for most of the plants ................3-4 weeks. Only one looks about 2 weeks away. Personally, I like to stop all nutrients and supplements about 10-14 days before estimated harvest day and just give plain water in normal amounts and at normal intervals during those last 10-14 days as a "flush". I generally dial back the (estimated) last feed before the "flush" period, otherwise feed as usual. For "flushing", there is no need to drown your plants with gallons of water in the hope that it will magically do something. As a rough guide, I stop feeding and start my "flush" when there are about 95% brown pistils/hairs and harvest 10-20 days later when there are 98-99% brown pistils hairs. This co-incides with the oft quoted "10-30% amber trichome" recommendation without having to be too anal about it.

This should be based on health of the plant and not some pre-ordained belief. does the health of the plant demand a dilution of nutrients in the medium? If so, sure go ahead and dilute the mdeium to correct the progressing problem. I do not think these look heavily overfed. Might be on the lush side, but that's pretty hard to discern under grow lights... everything looks a little paler under intense grow lights. the canopy is strong enough that if you only have a week or two left, you can save yourself the time and effort of mixing nutrients and switch to plain water -- i would continue to ph-balance any water provided, either way. Like organo said, some of these look much further out than 2 weeks, so my suggestion is only accurate if honest about it.

Lean and flush in case you have more than 2 weeks to go. Seeing a lot of white hairs, plants maturing isn’t an exact science. You might need some few more weeks than expected bro. Don’t straight flush right now.
