Harvest ready? Soon?

Yes, another is it ready question. This is an Aurora Indica, feminized. Grown in Hydro. Flower initiated 6/10, pics taken today just after lights off. This is week 9 of flower, so I believe it's done pretty soon. The trichomes look to be cloudy, clear and a few amber (here or there). If I had to ratio it, I'm guessing maybe 30 - 40% are clear. I'm just using a loop, can't hold things still for the microscope.

they are done.
not being a dick, no fighting, but please tell me why you
would begin a flush? (what is your flush?)
what have you fed last?

Just did a res change yesterday, flora micro, flora bloom, calmag+, using RO water. Flushing to eliminate issues with taste. Had grown in soil prior and taste was weird, though that was my first two times growing (both soil). Just don't want any crap in buds, trying to not have nutrients in them at point of use, if that is what happened before. Don't know, again, first timer in hydro. If flushing, don't think I'd do the 2 weeks recommended by growweedeasy site, seems that'd be a very long time and perhaps they'd be dead by then, if they are so far along now and as stated - I should have possibly plucked them before this.

Perhaps I have too much patience... that's why I had them go so long.

3 weeks, if you don't use empty chelates to help leach nutrients from the medium.
Coco is quite hard to flush or rather takes more effort.

If you took notes as you progressed you would now know the time frames of when to start, when you run the same strain again.
Practice makes perfect.

take a look at the instructions on your nutrient line. I bet they all have been instructing the reduction of ppm's
as your plant comes to its expected end. This is the flush.
if that didnt happen I ttly get where you're coming from, and a week of very light nutrients after a container rinse of pure water(into my spent res before change) is plenty.

What do you mean by empty chelates? I'm actually growing this same strain in hydro. It just entered 4 weeks flower. I was planning to begin flush around midway of week 7, expecting her to be ready for harvest beginning or mid week 9. I haven't seen 3 full weeks flush time suggested before, usually 1.5 to 2. This is my first grow, so i'm still listening and learning.

there are a number of flushing compounds on the market. most of them would just be empty chelates which can bind with elements in the substrate and wash them away.
