Harvest timing question for newbs 1st grow

Can anyone tell from this pic if I am close enough to harvesting that I need to start flushing out nutrients? Everything I've read about it says to start flushing about a week before ready to harvest. My problem is I have no idea what strain I am growing because I just used a couple of random seeds. Any and all advice I've gotten from everyone is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a microscope or a jewelers loupe you can use to look up close at the Trichome development, the small clear Trichome will turn a slight milky color as they get further into their development, if you can see them up close you can judge when to crop when the majority you can see are slightly milky and no longer clear, this is when I harvest when about 60% of the visible Trichome are no longer clear.
 
From looking at you picture, I believe you have another month. All the pestils are still white and sticking straight up, Don't make the mistake a lot of rookies make and harvest too soon.
 
Yes I do have a loupe. What I am wanting to know is how I can tell I need to take plant off nutrients and run straight water in reservoir? I've read to do this a week before harvest.
 
I'm not sure what you're growing in. I grow in soil and I don't flush. I simply give them only water the last week or two before harvest.
 
Ok let the pistils turn more amber, that in combination with Trichome growth and maturing will help you to decide when to stop feeding the plants for their last week, as one commenter said, about 3 more weeks
