3 questions about my blueberry plant (Flushing, yield and swelling)

Question 1. How do you decide when to start flushing your plant? The description of the blueberry seeds i bought was that flowering time is around 8 - 9 weeks. My plant has just started week 6 (From switch) so i'm guessing now is a little early to start flushing maybe? I just don't know when to start in the future, is there an easy way to tell when to start flushing or does it have to be a well timed guess? I'm unsure because this is my first grow and I want to get as much right as possible.

Question 2. When does the 'swelling' start? The reason I ask because when I look at the flowers It just seems to consist of leaves, thc and pistils, the only buds/calyx's there seem to just be at the centre, will there be any swelling buds around the outsideif you get me? When could I expect to seem them start to swell?

Question 3. I know this may be hard to answer as the weight changes after drying but can you guys sort of guess on average what sort of yield I could expect from this plant?

And I know the plant looks nitrogen hungry, I am feeding it nitrogen but ever since I put it in flower its just been so picky with nitrogen and considering there's only a couple of weeks left I guessed that it wouldn't really matter as flushing yellows the leaves anyway doesn't it?
Thanks for any input!

1. I kind of just play it by ear (or eye rather) when I flush. I'd say your a little early to start the flush, still all white pistils from what I can see. I would start flushing between week 7 and 8 probably, or at least till you see some orange/brown pistils. After a few grows you'll start to pickup on it. It's probably better to start the flush a little later than too early though.

2. Swelling depends on the strain for the most part, but you should expect some nice thickening up over the next few weeks though. Most strains don't put on a lot of weight till the last few weeks. Don't worry though, she'll fatten up for you.

3. This is a rough estimate, but I'm gonna guess prob around 3+ ounces.

4. The leaves will yellow during the flush, because the plant is using it's reserve nurtrients since your are flushing the rest of the food out of the medium.

Looking really good though man, those will be some tasty buds.
