I haven't started flushing, but I am using Coco. There's probably about 35-40% orange hairs, but still alot of whites left. should I flush now, and would it be ready to harvest in 7-10 days?
Trichomes Magnified. Harvest Time???

Not even close to done. Also, do some research on "flushing" please. If you're in coco especially, you should be feeding at a reasonable EC to begin with and should be able to taper down towards the end, but there is no reason to feed with plain water at the end for a "flush."

Yeah I know that coco needs more feedings. I was going to do a flush like 7 days before. not like a full flush just give it ph'd water. Also plan to let it dry out some the last .24-48 hours before I hang em to dry. I barely ever water or feed more than half a gallon every 2 days with alternating the water/feedings. I kinda know when it needs to be watered/fed judging by the weight of the smart pot im using. also if the top layers a bit drier its a good sign. so not even close huh? about how much longer? not impatient at all just curious about time frame from where I'm at now. what should I do from here on out? About where in the time frame would you say I'm at? This is first grow. pics from a few days ago in grow journal also. Thanks

awesome! Thank you. Time frame helps alot. I'll keep alternating feeding/watering for the next 2 weeks then. about 4 or 5 fan leaves are pretty much dead though. I guess it will work its way up to top fan leaves. maybe i'm underfeeding. was giving about 900-1000 ppm, and down to around 800 now.

i was doing flora trio and cal mag for veg and first few weeks of flower. After first few weeks of flower I slowly faded off flora gro and added in unsulphered molasses 1/2 tsp per gallon once a week, silica 1/4 tsp per gallon on feedings, micro 1/4 tsp per gallon, flora bloom 3/4 tsp per gallon, cal mag when i'm not using molasses at 1/2 tsp per gallon..Always ph to around 5.8, and ppms stay between 700-1000. coming down from 1000 ish ppm's halfway thru to now around 750-800. but I only use about half a gallon every 2 days for water/feeds. run off is around 6.3-6.4 ish ph. I started veg when she was about a foot tall or so. I couldn't veg any longer because it would've outgrew my box. I actually had to supercrop when it was in stretch. Next time I will start training sooner in veg.
using tap water by the way.

Yup the yellowing you are seeing is natural at this stage

I have no way of knowing from photos alone but just at a glance I would guess at least two weeks, more like three probably.
