57 day flowing can't can't really tell if trichs are mainly cloudy or clear

I am trying to make sure I dont harvest early I do like a little more of a relaxed high which is what I understand that the trichs need to be like 30% amber but when do I start to flush

goshdamit, when all trichs are solid cloudy, and then you see them degrade into darkened amber cut the plant and smoke it.
nobody flushes a well fed plant. reduce nutrients in soil if you're close to harvest, just like quality nutrient packages suggest.

looks good

OK thanks for ur insight everybody has fixed thoughts of flushing and I am a newbie so I have no clue what's best but by my trich how long do u think I have left

I can't speak for everybody, but I like to give mine nothing but water at least the last 2 weeks if not 3. I don't know if it messes with yield and don't care I find the notes come out in flavor and I don't like it. Personal preference. There may be a big difference with organic though, which is my next project.

OK I understand the flushing part but my main question is how long does it look to have left by the trichs

those aren't very clear pictures, but it looks pretty close from what i can see. milky white is ripe, amber/brown is past ripe and degrading. some people like the effect of a lot of ambers, which is the classic "couch lock" for most people. i'm not one of those people, i like to go when i have very few clears, and start seeing just a few ambers on trichs (not on leaves, those age a lot faster).

and don't flush. i personally taper off the last 3 weeks or so, slowly giving less nutes till its down to about 100 ppm the last watering.
i do this because i think the plant still has a good bit of nutes in its medium, and no point in adding more at the end, when its all going to go back into the recycle pile anyway.
i don't "flush" because it doesn't do any of the things it's supposed to do. plants don't absorb nutrient salts, they absorb negative ions of those nutrient salts, and once they're absorbed, no amount of water is going to get them out of the plant.

OK thank I will check the trichs again in like 4or 5 days and see what I got sorry for the pics my digital microscope won't let me take the pic on the computer so it a pic of the screen and those were of the leaves should I check the trichs on the buds and go off them
