From zooming on your diary images, you don't have any amber trichomes yet, most are still transparent some are milky. On the other hand your pistilis have turned orange and curled. You have a max of 2 weeks left from these images. With regards to flush, you need to start the flush 14 to 10 days before harvest so you can give them 1 more give feed and then start the flush. More details: Get yourself a jeweller's loupe (ideal, but a magnifying glass or even your phone camera will do) and check the bud trichomes. You will thank yourself because cutting early gives you the feeling of missed potential. Once you have looked at the magnified trichomes, you should look for the milky trichomes. The milky trichomes are full of THC. The transparent one's are undeveloped (less THC) and the amber ones are a bit overdeveloped because the THC will have started deteriorating. Since not all trichomes switch at the same time, I would aim for 20% amber trichomes. More amber trichomes creates more of a body high (usually associated with indica strain) while less amber trichomes gives you more of a head high (usually associated with sativa strains). P.S. Following pistils (the white hairs on the buds) alone is not reliable but you want to have most of them turn orange and start to curl. Good luck on the rest of your grow 😃. Looks like a good yield

Need 70 percent milky trichromes as a general rule. Get yourself a digital microscope and save the guess work. Your peak harvest window I’ll be around 7-10 days. Start flushing and continue to do so until you cut. You spent a lot of time on these don’t jump the gun the last two weeks. Disregard the days and weeks you have been growing. Those are a general guideline at best and can vary dramatically across different phoenotypes of the same strain.

Defenetly flash.. u can also stress them with 3 days of complete darkness & can further stress your plant by stopping watering all that will increase resin.. If pistils are 70–90% brown is ideal time to harvest.. Milky/white trichomes most strains ready for harvest

Yes they are finished. Or extremely close. I would estimate about a week left for a little more ripening. Ripeness depends on smokers choice. If you want more sedative then wait a little longer then a week. Nice frosty buds. 👍🏻
