Hard to tell with a pic but I also say another week. Get a magnifying glass and wait untill the trichs are 75% milky white and 25% amber. Plus another week of flushing will ensure some sweet smoke. Should be some good bud.
awesome thanks for the advice, and also everyone else for chiming in. waiting on her for sure.
another quick one, should i be flushing her now? i havent, i flushed her once while vegging, thats it.
also, anything i sohuld be incorporating in to her waterings? molasses?
thanks again

Yep looks like there aren't many if any amber trichs yet. I'd agree that you have 7-14 days to go still. I know that when the fan leaves start crinkling up like that it can make some people panic and think they need to harvest early. Don't worry though, that's just the buds taking the nutrients (N mostly) from the fan leaves and is normal. (Just like the leaves in Fall!) Hang in there, patience pays off big time in the last couple weeks of nug production.
-Personally I'm not a fan of flushing at all, every other farmer in the world out there harvests at the peak of production and taking away their food the last week when they need it the most doesn't make much sense. But anyway I would definitely add some molasses to your water (heat up a cup of water in the microwave and add 1TBS per gallon of water that's going into your watering water) once a week. It gives the nugs a nice little carb boost. Black Strap is best brand name to get if you can find it but any works about the same. =)

To ensure the sweetest tasting bud possible, I would start flushing now. If not the smoke can be harsh due to the chemical content of the nutrients. Some nutes do add to the taste such as Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy. The last week or two the plant will use it's own existing nutes (hence the mentioned color change).
A day or two before chopping, water with three times the volume of the pot to flush out all the salts in the soil and leave her in the dark the last 24 hours before harvest.
I'll pray for the dankiest of the dank : )

i seem to be read some varied opinions on flushing, i might just sit tight. i gave her nutes on 3 occasions, during veg. so i dont think chem should be an issue. or should i be still thinking of flushing her, i havent given her nutes since my last flush.
picked up some blackstrap, going to be adding that in tomorrow i think.
thanks again

If you haven't been feeding every other watering then dont worry about it. Three feedings in veg is nothing. I'm sure they've had about a dozen waterings since then. That baby is flushed as they get...should be sweet like bear meat!
