You have at least 3-4 weeks left.
They'll plump up if you feed them.
DO NOT STOP FEEDING THEM IN 1 WEEKS TIME.
the final 2 weeks will be the ripening stage where you start to see the pistils receed back towards the calyx and you'll notice changes in most of your trichomes.
If you must "flush" please just leach instead, the art of watering normally but with plain water.
As healthy as your plants are I wouldn't worry about flushing at all.
I would just gradually reduce your ppm starting in 7-14 days time.

so those are at 5 weeks? in the last couple weeks of flower, you shouldn't see much growth. this is usually when they start filling in, inside. this is when you can really pack on weight. a lot of people make the mistake of harvesting early, and cheat themselves out of a good yield. a long time ago, a friend told me this, "when you're ready to harvest, don't! wait one more week, you'll be glad you did." a lack of patience, has gotten "many growers," smaller yields....

In 3 days it will be 7 weeks past the flip, because 15th of March was the day I switched to 12/12, but this picture was taken exactly one week ago, so it's almost 6 full weeks into flowering there.

No no no. Please tell me that's how it WILL look!

most pk boosters suggest using for 1 week, at week 5 of flower.

Please clarify - does week 5 of flower mean week 5 of 12/12 lightning schedule? I ask, because in my opinion plants wont' start flowering right after changing lightning schedule.
However, I suspect that I might have been late with PK booster by feeding it at week 6 of 12/12.
Can't know for sure. It's my first grow.

ya, week 5 of 12/12. i think this is pretty much standard.

I hope I didn't do much bad to my plants by being late for 1 week. I'm sure the correct timing is a bit strain dependable too, so if I'm lucky then I didn't go much wrong.
Got to stay positive you know
P.S. Although I've heard people saying that the exact timing is very important with PK booster.

i think no harm done, that's close enough. it's not like the plant would show any problems, no leaf issues..

Yes, I happened to notice only one big bud having her upper leaves being a bit too yellow, but most of them are good, but that picture was taken before I started with PK.
If you remember, then come back tomorrow and have a look at this thread. I will take new pictures to show how they really look now when that week has passed.
