Yes u can begin the flush. I see the hairs ur plant looks to be about 1.5 away. I like a combination more ripe bud. For instance I like some amber, hairs curled in, leaves yellowing, and isn't as thirsty as it's been. When I see all that when I harvest. Another pointer is I always harvest 1 to 2 weeks after breeder says it's done. That's when they really put on weight and pack crystals

Ive grown this same strain and mine took about 9.5 weeks to finish with pretty much 0 clear trichs and 20% amber. Make sure you are looking at the calyxes of the bud, not the sugar leaves. I would give it at least a week if not week and a half more. Just keep an eye on things a little every day. That plant is a beauty for sure though! Good luck!

Always go by the trichome color on the calyxes or your just guessing. Use a 40x led lighted jewelers loupe (Amazon.com) to check them.The main cola typically ripens first. once about 50% of the pistils have dried start checking the trichomes. You should begin your flush when you see more cloudy than clear trichomes on your buds you may see a stray amber trichome here and there on some of the sugar leaves. 10-14 days is more than enough. Most growers will harvest when 5%-30% amber trichomes or seen on all of the buds. More amber the more of a body high you will get. You will have a mix of some clear with mostly cloudy/milky along with amber all on one bud. You can always harvest in stages taking the main cola first then the lower buds 5-7 days later when they are ready. Don't be fooled by the slight fox tailing that occurs near the end of bloom that send out new white pistils. I blew up your photo I see very few dry pistils on your buds. I would/You should feed her one more week then see if shes ready to flush. See you next week. I hope this helps 👍

Where are u seeing the amber trichs? Make sure to be examining the trichomes on the calyxs as the trichomes on the sugar leaves will amber much sooner. Also the plant looks to be still in swelling/bulking phase of flowering. Generally once the bulking is done it's about 2 weeks ripening time give or take depending on strain and desired ratio. I'd say atleast 2 weeks off from harvest so depending how long u intend on flushing for... 10 day flush start in a few days flushing 7 day flush start flushing In a week. That's only IMO hope this helps

You are seeing amber trichomes ok but how much ? 10% or 80% ? What type of effect do you wanna experiment ? Deep stone or energetic high ? You should answer all these question before even thinking about flushing and harvesting. I can tell you by the size of tour buds that they can still gain weight and be fatter. And about the hair changing colours it is not really something to monitor , it tells you that the time of harvest could be close but you can have 70% of red hairs and still not the trichomes ratio you are searching for. Leave it longer would be my recommendation , the gorillas strain are know to be ready around 8 to 10 weeks of flowering. I would have wait one more week then 10 days of flushing and cut
