Appreciate the interest but does anybody have answers to my initial questions. So far I have had two different answers on when to take down (opposite opinions) and yet too hear on others. Again, did gain some knowledge from all the above in regards to trichs but need info more directly related to my questions. Thanks in advance!

LOL .Heres how I do it.
Follow me ==================>
1- Know you flowering time whatever it is, 8-10-13 weeks. This will give u an idea when u should start looking at ur buds closely.
2- Decide What type of high are you looking for? Head High or Body Couch or Both? I like body couch, LOL.
20%-35% triches = clear head high
45%-60% trichomes = U get body and head high.
60%-75% trichomes and up body high for STONERS.
3- Now let's say your flowering time is 8 weeks. If you have done every thing right without or minimal stressing the plant, you should see the last 2 weeks of flowering your buds start swelling up.
4- ONCE YOU NOTICE THAT BUDS ARE SWELLING, START DROPPING YOUR NUTES LEVEL WHICH U SHOULD DO IT GRADUALLY AND INCREASE UR CARBOHYDRETS (SUGAR). YOU CAN USE SWEET OR MOLASSES. I USE MOLASSES AND I PUSH MINE TO 15 ML/GALLON. BY THE END OF THE WEEK U SHOULD HAVE UR PPM AT 150PPM AND THATS WITH MOLASSES MIXED IN WITH WATER. KEEP IT AT 150 PPM FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN START FLUSHING WITH PLAIN WATER. From the time when u notice your buds are swelling it would be about 3 weeks.
5- Stop watering for 1-2 days before dark period of 36 hours.
6- Now this part I do it little different from other growers. I water it again put it back under the light for 2 days and then 24 hour darkness again and then chop chop.
Now, follow the pictures and thats how its done, right or wrong you decide for yourself.
Start lowering ppm

Thanks for the great info. Could you elaborate on what the swelling consists of and how it changes the look of the buds. Secondly what a yield. What strain are you using and are you doing something special to increase the yield or is it just the strain?
