Trying to figure out when to flush for Harvest???

So I've been growing this 9lb. Blackberry strain (Indica). I'm starting week 8 of flowering as of Friday July 27th. I just started noticing some pistils turning brown/amber and curling it. I've been trying to view the trichomes with a little magnifier for metal detecting and I just got the 420 pocket scope which is pretty worthless unless you cut a bud off and smash the scope against it to view. Doesn't seem very efficient. However, if I just started seeing some pistils change, how much longer, on average, do I have until peak harvest for a nice, deep high. I'm figuring I'll chop when all trichomes are cloudy, maybe a few amber. I flushed today for the first time with almost 9 gallons of water. I'm growing in a 3 gallon bucket...I think. Should I continue to flush every few days, or feed more nutes a couple more times?

Thanks in advance for any opinions or shared knowledge. This is only my second grow.

Looks like you have 6 weeks to go at least
 
Mate he's right you only look 4-5 week in wait until it looks ready to harvest hairs brown and receding in before flushing flushing for 7-10 days chop dry cure.

Keep feeding, you got a ways to go. Too many white pistols and the buds are not big enough. I like to wait until the buds feel almost "crispy", you know the small leafs on the buds? They will break or feel brittle if you bend them.
