Do you have a microscope?
If so, look at the trichomes and report back what you see.

You want to look for:

Cloudy / milky trichomes.
Receding pistils
Swollen calyxes


Those are the tree key indicators to maturity.

Just looking at your pictures it seems like they could go for a while longer, wether that be 1 week for the top buds and 3 weeks for the smallest and most underdeveloped is hard to say without looking at the trichomes.

Keep an eye on the trichomes and you won't need any assistance :joint:

you can get cheap jewlers loops on amazon for under 10bucks. 30xworks great. 45x is perfect. the best way is looking at the trics.

No they are not.
The colour of the pistils does not indicate maturity.

Not true. It's a way of telling your getting close and now start looking at the trichs. And what about the strains that grow orange hairs from the start? How do you tell then?

But I see 3 more weeks.

yea i was under the impression flushing isnt required, it is up for debate but flushing has a minimal effect if any and can stress your plant with lack of nutrients. this is what i have gathered from this site and other online information, i am not a scientist biologist or horticulturalist my word is not a true and factual statement and im not tryin to start a fight with the many people who religiously believe in flushing.

i will be flushing for the last 2-3 days as i will prolly be out of nutrients and dont wanna spend 80$ for the last 2 days.

p.s. an sensi is okay but the ph ppm stuff looks to be about as truthful as most governments

oh and if i wanna avoid the couchlock feel can i harvest at 10/90 clear cloudy?

A couch-lock effect is not determined by trichomes but by the strain (Indica strains).
Sativa strains deliver energetic highs.

And yes you should harvest as close to 100% cloudy trichomes as possible for a fully realized THC and peak harvest.

You can certainly run a sativa to the point of couchlock. clear/cloudy/amber % affect the type of buzz, both indica and sativa.......

I'll have to disagree with you on the running a sativa to the point of couch lock part.

Yes what stage the trichomes are in affects the effect your get from the weed.
But clear trichomes are not psychoactive, cloudy trichomes contain THC, which I'm sure you know is the main factor in any cannabis buzz.
Amber trichomes however contain degraded THC; CBN.
CBN is only mildly psychoactive and it delivers an unpleasant buzz if you will.

CBC (Cannabichromene): Sedative effect. Moderates effects of THC. Analgesic (pain relieving). Non-psychoactive. Trends in Pharmacological Sciences

THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin): Stronger, faster “high” effect. Apatite suppressant. Euphoria, analgesic (pain relieving).

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol): Psychotropic. Analgesic (pain relieving). Apatite stimulant. Bronchial dilator. Lowers IOP/glaucoma.

CBD (Cannabidiol): Non-psychoactive. Reduces muscle spasms. Muscle relaxant. Analgesic (pain relieving) Trends in Pharmacological Sciences

CBG & CBC are more factors in a couch lock like buzz than CBN is.
But the true factor between energetic high vs. couch lock high is Sativa vs. Indica.
