I know this is a year late, but I'm growing with the same seeds as my first attempt. Interestingly I did this using an Aerogarden Harvest Touch. I wanted to thank you for creating this diary because it's been pretty helpful. Currently on Day ~65, almost 2.5 weeks into flowering. I've made a few mistakes as any beginner would, and I will continue to make them. One thing I'm having a hard time gauging is when to flush, or rather, how long to flower. I'm a bit nervous to do it too early, but I definitely don't want to do it too late either. ATM, sugar leaves have trich's on about 40-60% of their surface. About 15% of pistils have started to go from white to orange, and/or are completely orange. Under a 30x 21mm loupe, it's not super easy to get a sense of trichome color, but they're definitely not amber yet. I feel like flushing at the first signs of amber is too late. I've been slightly decreasing nutes for the last few days because of my concerns. Any suggestions on other ways to tell if it's time to flush?
