As a newbie, I am still learning about the length of time and signs in the growth of the plant.
You guys have been extremely helpful so I am leaning on your expertise again!
Based on these photos of my plants taken this morning, how long will it be before these are ready for harvest?
Thanks!

Cant really put a time on it brother looks to me your about 3ish maybe 4 weeks in since you flipped the lights? If thats correct then you still have probably atleast 4 to 6 weeks before youll be pulling out the 
. When did you flip the lights?

When the buds start really forming they will be covered in little clear mushroom shaped cyrstals when 10-30% of these turn amber is when you want to chop. Also dont pay as close attention to the sugar leaves as you are the buds themselves

they look about 2 weeks into flower
maybe 6 weeks for an Indica, about 8 -10 weeks for a Sativa
but just a guess
your leaves look skinny 
all the best

I believe I went to 14 hours of complete darkness about three weeks ago.
What’s interesting is that using inexpensive mylar emergency blankets surrounding the plants, including the top of them, has had dramatically better growth than my Vivosun grow tent!

That is what i meant. Well my guess was spot on 3 weeks in you do seem to have a little bit of clawing going on id keep an eye on it. Looks damn good though lots of pistils. If i have to guess you got about 6 more weeks of flowering. But that is totally up to the plant.

The variables that make up your grow are the best way for others to diagnose issue.
When folks ask for help, they are usually asking by photograph. Which could lead down a rabbit hole of potential “fixes.” Many issues can overlap or be misdiagnosed from lack of data.
The best way is to share your grows variables with your community and they might see the area that could use improvement.

After reading that article (thanks so much! ) I believe I have overwatered a couple of the plants. Each plant is set on lifters in its four inch deep plastic saucer, so they aren’t sitting in water. Other than the obvious, what can I do to help the plants dry out? They do look healthy otherwise and their flowering is progressing. Thanks so much!

If you are growing in bags, a small oscillation fan will help.

I have had a rather small fan blowing upwards in the middle of all four plants. I will not water (with and without nutrients) for a week or so and see if that helps. I just thought that the plants required water/nutrients especially at this stage of growth/flower.

Don’t starve them, just check the weight of your containers and feed and water them when they’re light.

growth rate is what determines water/food needs
pick up the pot when it is dry and water pick up again 
no better way to tell your finger lies 
all the best and grow well
