when to harvest

just a little curious when i should start my flush. i am in 9 weeks flowering on a sativa unknown strain and the buds have fattened up quite a bit but most of the visible calyxes have not swelled yet. also the leaves are at the point now where they are mostly yellow and and curling up and looking like they are about to die. also the trichomes have started to appear more on the buds but are still not covering it. i have not checked the color of the trichs yet either but i will soon. i just need to know if i should start flushing now when most of the pistils are still white and alive.

Some pictures would definitely help

look at the trichomes to be for sure but normally more of the hairs turn red when shes done. Personally i think you got at least 1 week longer if not 2. Then again I let mine go a long time. look at the trichs!

Got a bit for sure before harvest, but im seeing a Deficiency for sure sir :/
Might want to post those bad girls in plant problems, I would guess (with my limited knowledge) that it could be Nitrogen def.

well i dont think it has any problems. yes it is nitrogen deficiency but that is normal for late stages of growth. i just need to know when to start my flush. also wondering if it would be cool to harvest ripen buds when its time and leave the little sideshoots at the bottom since they are still green and not big at all.
