anytime you take a shit, you should flush.. you can let the yellow mellow, if oyu are some sort of environmental activist.
oh you mean for plants? a flush is something you do when a catastrophic problem is occuring in your rootzone. it has numerous negative effects on the plant and shouldn't be done unless there is a really good reason.
what flushing absolutely does not do -- it does not change mineral content of flower. this is further shown as blind taste tests do not indicate any awareness of which bud is flushed and what is not flushed. ppl like to lie to themselves. it's a common occurence throughout history and daily life. but when it is a blind taste test, the resutls clearly show flushign doesn't do dick to the flower as it is smoked.
should you wait? that depends on a lot of personal preference. can't see much and 2 pics of trichomes isn't enogh to assess. I think i see some long pistils, still, so i think you ahve more time than you expect. let it fully plump.
what you can do is take off some colas at different points -- harvest bulk relative to what pple suggest as far as "more amber = more couchlock" type effect. But brain chemisty is not equal. so, you may find it impacts you differently or not. Anyway, take cola off early in harvst window, and then intermittently throughout.. if you don't want high amounts of amber, leave a couple colas on plant to continue ripening, but doesn't have to be the bulk of it.
harvest multiple times and label each with % amber. learn what you prefer. And know, this process gets easier each time you do it. what seems foreign to your eye now becomes very familiar over time.
guesstimating amber is just as much art as sciecne. use other visual cues like pistil coloration and calyx plumping. even density of colas is helpful to notice, but you don't want to do tat until you are 99% sure you want to harvest. i give a couple a gentle squeeze to make sure they won't shrink 2x as much while drying.
