Hi there, I agree with m0use about taking pictures in a better light, it's a little hard to tell the trichome color in a yellow light. As for flushing, as long as you are using organic soil, there really is no reason to flush. Flushing is to remove any build up of salts in the soil so the plant can properly take up nutrients. I've heard a lot of people flushing to gain color, but the only thing that does is make colors of the plants literally eating itself alive (its not that pretty) but strains that HAVE color will make color flush or no flush. Also cooler temperatures are what makes the colors show as well, so if that's what your goal is, put an AC in with room, or make the temp cooler for the last going off! If color isn't what your after, and you have used some hydro nutrients along your grow, then test the run off and make sure it's got the proper amount for end flower, and if you feel like there would be a salt build up, or your plants look unhappy, then maybe consider a flush, but your flowers look really nice so I don't think it's necessary. If you are looking for a body stone: harvest when there are a few amber trichomes, and then by the time it's dried and cured it will process more amber. It's looking really plump and basically ready to harvest like you mentioned, so just consider the trichomes and make sure it's going to give you the smoke you want! 😉 Good luck on the grow!!

Organic probably don’t need to flush more important if your using chelated water solubles. If you do want to flush do it 7-10 days before harvest

You need to take the photos in white light, All the pictures are washed out in a orange haze. Your harvest will be based on trichomes. Most people harvest/flush when they have 10-30% amber. If you in a hydro setup start flushing 5 days before you plan on chopping with ph'd water and that's it. If you are in soil it takes about 2 weeks of just ph'd water to do much of anything. I personally do not flush but that's what aligns with my style of grow. Good Luck!

You can't really tell but it looks more clear still, I would feed once more then flush but that's just me 🤣
