When it gets down to 99% of the pistils red, consider chopping it. I would guess you have at least 3 weeks to go.
Don't waste effort looking at trichs when you have so many white stigmas. The trichs are not going to tell you a different story than the stigmas.

To many white hairs, three weeks or more left if it was my plant, looks like its in mid flower.

Caught a video around here about stages of the plant and when to harvest. The only stages I can tell is by growing and 'when' to harvest. Disclaimer: Not a botanist, chemist, pro grower, but more an observation specialist. My harvest time is late Sept. It's so predictable, that near October, it would rain on the plant, and be too wet, rather than be safe in the previous few days of seeing that cloud cover hang for days.
So I do not care the insect excrement left on the leaves, it's not much, won't hurt. Worms are chewing on the plant so think, you can't create or destroy burnt butt squirts so smoke that too. Anyway, seeing that video, I'm now after stage 8. I use an old lens out of a kid's Microscope. A jewelers loop would have to be as small as this microscope's power. But the real deal is the tool the pro's use w/flashlight bulb, and the focus wheel.
The whole point in needing that is to watch the oil drop on the hair of the leaf and all around. It starts out clear, then fogs up in the ball, then turns engine oil in color and that tan/brown look to it. So I now break it down to 3 stages and be on the raggedge of the cut, not what I was doing, say stage 10 and lost a percentage potency. See if this makes sense:
1. This is pure up and down oil balls all clear, no change, but is about to change and the stage of heading for number 2 being, the stage away from 1 but now...
2. ... Is in the clear/fog stage, but early off of 1. Around this point of observation, I was more post stage, rather than stage 8.
a. This is watching the oil ball move to its fog stage. So somewhere here is the 8-ball of wanting peak THC or CBD with such a small harvest.
b. This would be where I used to cut and hang. That would be all fog, sprinkles of Tan/Br.
3. This is pretty much a lot of Tan/Br, you missed the peak, bud still sends you out there.
Because of the video, and say, old info and that stage of cutting, I'm going after somewhere at 2a this time. I have a few seasons behind me to have been studying that ball of goo at those stages. No harm is like finding the sweetest watermelon like ready to eat and not a day later. The finger tap says it rings, it's ripe. It thuds, it's overripe sitting along with the singers. Have to have an ear for that, now an eye for this.
And there is no rule that says you can't cut at any of those stages, and harvest that branch at said stage. And to add, you'll see at the cut, the large leaves will curl like a cone around the bud. I know not mix the brown leaves left in the cleaning process. And the suggestion to me was to let it all dry, then remove the larger leaves. This gives it a smoother draw than a harsh down the throat hit. Seems to work.

Should I flush?? Plants were grown in pure worm castings mixed with peat moss and a dash of harvest Gold for silica. Once again this is my first gro so I'm learning.

Don't flush, find some good flower nuits suited to peat to feed your plants, or go for a general slow release fertiliser.

When I start seeing amber trichomes I leach. Then in 8-10 days I harvest. But I've only been doing this for 34 years so what do I know? You can get a mini magnifier from Amazon. But you know how Amazon goes, you are really just renting it, until it breaks. And every one I bought breaks if you try to change the batteries. They won't go back together. They cost 16.50 but in today's economy they'll probably be 20 bucks tomorrow.
