If those photos are from today, my best estimate is you are about 5-12 days out from now. A lot of the shots are too blurry but I see a lot of clear on that sugar leaf and those usually ripen first. You're really close, and from a cannabinoid standpoint you're better being a little late than a little too early.

Oh damn any advice on what i can do now since ive flushed them today ?
I had a feeling they was mainly clear

I am sooo stressed with them if i ever do them again i really hope i learn my lesson from last time
One of the stems on one of the plants snapped around 2 weeks ago so i hung it up just to see as an experiment and it looks like bud but smells like pure grass and pure ass

Tell me im and idiot without telling me im an idiot

You did not waste your time. How about sending a close up of an entire bud. Whats your medium (soil, Coco)? By "flush" what exactly do you mean?
As for the stem that broke off is it dry yet (between 58% and 62% RH)?

Normally you shouldn't need to flush at all. Around week 6-7 the demand begins to diminish so you should start tapering off your feeding from there and toward then you're feeding them light because it's all they're capable of eating anyway, no need to flush and especially if you're in living soil. It's mainly handy for when you were redlining your nutrients. So if you follow the bell curve of nutrient demand, you shouldn't have excess nutrients you need to worry about purging.

For the situation you're in where you flushed and it's not ready, remember I said the demand tapers off, so if necessary you can go in and do a light feeding of liquid nutrients. Leave the nitrogen out, feed moderate potassium and cal mag no stronger than 400-500pom.

If you're using coir, there aren't generally any nutrients in the medium, only what you're feeding. So when you flushed you likely removed all nutes and in the next 2-3 days it's going to start crashing. With coir you'll keep your nutes up until the end, tapering to match the demand, and then your flush is you'll do your waterings with straight water the last 24-48 hours before you chop. That's if you're doing DWC style and fertigating. If you're doing soil style, you'll just taper.

Thanks man that makes more sense
I am going to get a better jewlers loupe as i only have the x10 lol but will go back to the small amount of nutes for the next week then chop

I’m not going to get into the flushing debate, but as far as your plants go, I agree that in coco you.can just taper back the nutes. The fact that you flushed can be overcome by just feeding again. The trichs still got some time, there’s no amber, and still some clear. I’ve give it around two weeks. The old saying is, “when you think it’s done, give it two more weeks!”

Everone has differant opions, In my opinion,
Do you know what the strain is and breeder?
What is their estimated flower or finish time?
If you know the above, try growdiaraires.com to see others finish times are with a grain of salt.
Are you top watering?
What are you feeding with?
At this point I would continue to feed as you have been ( if top feeding with runoff tracking make sure runoff is the same as input on first watering).
Reevaluate in 5-7 days.
