Personally I just stop adding nutes 7-10 days before I plan to harvest and dont worry too much about flushing-and that "myth" about darkness boosting THC production has been bunked- you actually lose THC with too much darkness and as for tricomes-its been proven they are produced by the plant during the DAYLIGHT period- not during the darkness. So why you would want to leave your plant in the dark for a day or two after finally having that once and for all cleared up- I dont know. Im sure some pple will fight me on this- but a well know cannabis plant biologist and professor just debunked those two recently so im sure it will start to filter down soon. For yourself here- yeah flush em but dont go crazy and leave em another week and then harvest em anytime after that ok. And skip the Darkness- just do a heavy defol a day or two before you harvest and the stress from that will boost tricome and THC/resin production more than leaving it in the dark will. I actually harvest mine in stages- defol a few days before 1st harvest-then on 1st harvest I take all the top and main buds, and trim them up and 3 or 4 days later I take off the next layer of buds, and a few days later take off the lowest buds. This stress and added time does wonders for the lower buds and they swell up alot more than you would think. I leave the plants under the lights and just run plain water the whole time- I didnt flush either remember, I just stopped nutes 7 days before I did my defol and then just run water, keep em at 12/12 and harvest in layers. If you have 2 or more plants try both ways- chop one plant as you would normally, and try chopping one in layers as I suggested. The pop corn buds you would normally think are pretty meh, will be better on the one you layer harvested than the one you chopped the normal way.

You got about 7 to 10 days roughly would flush and do just straight water. Always want to look at trichromes on buds not leaves. Cloudy and amber is ideal vs clear, cloudy and amber. Ripeness is a personal preference really. Just don't want to harvest early. Enjoy🌱🌱🌱

I would say yes. If you flush can start that. I'm not a huge fan of flushing. Good Luck!

I think you are at the beginning of the harvest window. If you have the time I might wait another week but check every day. When to harvest will depend on the type of high you want. Sooner if you want a more day, uplifting high or wait longer to get more amber trichomes for a more relaxed, couch lock stone.
