Welcome! You’re taking pics of the leaves. Can you upload pics of the calyx (where the “hairs” are coming out of)? ---

A week or 10 days is my estimate lol . The hairs should shrinking back into the calyxes more and possibly darker . It’s very hard to tell but you want the trichome heads to be cloudy or white , with a percentage of amber mixed in . The percentage of amber heads is up to you . Peace . ---

Agree w @Templeballs. I wait for the bracts/calyx to close around the red pistils. On this one you can see them closed. Once this happens the she is done trying to pollinate and ready to die. ![1000017568](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/f/4/2f4929a00c452b71191d9ca978467b6d40dbb6bc.jpeg) ---

Flowing time. Flushed or not color of tri if you feel its ready to cut you’re decision but in my experience when its ready cut i pull back to a one week window i flush and wait one week then trim big fan leafs and than i give it two days in the dark box all this happens in a one week sunday to sunday on that day i pull it from the pots roots and all and hang back in the dark box. I found that it turns out to be more potent richer flavor and the high unbelievable This is just what i do to max out my plant. ---

@Trill-zilla , looks like another 7-14 days without having microscope pictures of the trichomes. I usually shoot for about 20% amber for my target window. Good luck, you are on track, almost there. ---
