Really nice looking!! IMHO, you’re very close, like a week or so, once the buds stop swelling and the last pistils are shriveled. It’s done! check the trichs for amber, then it’s up to you how much you want,
And I need to make sure that I need too flush and a 3 days of night? Then harvest?
As too the flushing I haven't used any plant food or fertilizers of any kind besides all organic matter. is the flush still necessary or needed?
And the 3 days of darkness before harvest is final trichomes boost?

As too the defoliating I didn't complete lollipop them I did some LST of course, I have been least once a week if not every couple days trim some leaves back too keep the buds themselves too absorb as very much of the light as possible leaving the top few main fan leaves on tops of each bud basically. Like too know what your opinions are too if I have been defoliating too often or too much in general, and how much you think I hurt my final yield I so at all

Looking good! Still a fair amount of white pistils when you zoom in, I'd think you're more in the "check back in two weeks" range.
And just imo, nothing you do for 3 days at the end of the plant's life is going to have a noticeable effect on the end result

Your plants look great, and are very close to being in the harvest window. I would personally wait another week or so. As to flushing and dark before chop it’s not proven and disputed if it makes a difference. Don’t bother asking, you won’t get a definitive answer. Try both ways for yourself and decide what works for you, it’s the only way to know. I have tried flushing and not, I don’t see a difference in quality or taste. I’ve never tried the dark before harvest, perhaps one day I’ll try, I can’t imagine it making a big difference but hey, you don’t know till you try for yourself.

Dont flush, it accomplishes nothing and starves the plant.
No need for three days dark, for max terpenes, harvest as soon as the lights come on in the morning.

This I will agree with, if you flush early you ruin any chance of a good harvest, and if you flush on time it makes no difference.

You can't flush a plant of anything........you can only flush the medium which accomplishes nothing. Stoner myth.
Why starve a plant in the most important 2 weeks of it's life?

What do you expect to gain from removong ALL fan leafs at any point before harvest?
There is absoultly nothing to gain from doing so, flowers gerenrate very little photosynthisis.
NO leaf NO energy!

Trichomes are not the best indicator and the easiest way to harvest too early.
Your plant looks great, give it another week or so and check back in. You'd be surprised how much it changes (for the better) over the next couple weeks.

Using trichs (and shriveled pistils) works for me, but, use the trichs on the calyxes, not the sugar leaves! I’d still give it a week or so.
