Should I start flushing now?

Get yourself a microscope or jewelers loupe and let the trichomes tell you.....I tend to stop feeding when they start clouding over....just water from then on......

Ok. I tried to picture what I can see with my scope (40x).

They are a mature filament (10% the total plant, approx.), an average filament (20% of the total plant, approx.) and a very immature filament (70% of the total plant, approx.). Does it add any additional information?

Forget about flushing.
You would never try to starve a tomato or a pepper or a fruit tree during it's fruiting peak.
Thats true but Ive only ever grown them outdoors and never supplemented with additional nutrients. Do people flush them when grown indoors I wonder

Not that much. You will continue getting white hairs, as well as white hairs turning red. The overall balance between red and white hairs can remain relatively static even if you get the impression that many are turning red. The plant overall still looks pretty fresh, and i wouldn't consider flushing now, even though I harvest early myself.

So, something seems to change. Those red hairs just appeared in so short time... Do they change anything about the time left? Thank you.

Hey Guys,

my lady (Blue Dream, under 125W CFL) will be on her 9th week of flowering tomorrow and BioBizz schedule suggests to start flushing today. Is she ready for it?

Please: consider I would like an energetic, sativa, stimulating harvest.

As you can see there are some orange filaments but the vast majority are white. Although some tricks are amber the very vast majority are still clear... What should I do?

Nope, you still have quite a bit of time left. Why not chop a small bud off, let it dry for a few days then test it yourself?
