Trichomes & Harvesting

So according to these pics, how close am i to harvest, and should i consider starting the flush?
are those photos of the calyx or the leaves? leaves mature faster, so if you're going by that, then check the calyx. If that is indeed the calyx, then I'd say you got 2 more weeks or so. Personally, that's how long i'd take it. however, more experienced people may or may not agree.

Thank u
Pics are from calyxs . I posted in another part of the site and got lots of similar answers.. Everyone is agreeing on 2 to 3 weeks.. i did some defoliating and discovered i had thrips. Im going to start a flush soon and wrap this thing up. My aurora indica is smelling GREAT and i cant wait until she finishes. I believe she has 6 to 8 weeks left

I was thinking of letting this one go another 3 weeks. It's 'Blue Dream' and under my 30x lupe the trichomes look milky.
What do you all think?
I lack the experience to be sure but that looks damn close. And DANK to, i might add.. look at the frost on her! .. great job, let us know how she burns and tastes when the time comes

I’m in week 7 with Tahoe OG and gorilla cookies. I’ve read (first grow so no experience) that these are 9-10 week strains.
I had some fan and light issues (corrected) this week causing two different periods where temps went to 110f in my closet for a couple of hours. One time was during dark hours and the lights were on and they weren’t supposed to be. Both times it was heavy fragrances in the house that led to the discovery of the issue.
Trichome heads were mostly clear with a cloudy here or there before and directly afterwards.
Because the darkness was interrupted, I reset them by leaving the light off for a full 24 hours, turning them back on at the next scheduled time.
Yesterday one of the Tahoe’s started to show nute issues which I’m assuming was due to all the water that she drank while I was trying to cook her.
This morning I have quite a few amber heads and most of the pistals orange.
I think it’s a couple of weeks early but I think I need to harvest??
I can’t take pics through my scope but I’ve attached what I can. Any words of advice would be appreciated

Thanks

i go by trichs mainly. when you've got a good amount of amber, its time to cut, if some of your pistils are still white, that's ok, they'll turn quick enough when you chop

a lot of people have tried the prolonged period of darkness before chop, the general consensus is that it doesn't really make much of a difference.
i myself am not a proponent of flushing. i won't go off on a long diatribe (which i have been known to do), i'll just say that if you do your own research into flushing, you will see that it is a myth, that does nothing its supposed to do. nothing.
Glad I found this thread! What about reducing or stopping nutes the last week or two?
