when to flush (based on trichs?)

[fishing time]

Growin bag seed - no idea how long it's going to flower. Each seed is different from all I know; I've been saving them in a jar for a few years. I don't want to do anything to sacrifice quality but I'm not sure when to cut the nutrients.

Per gallon I use:
1/4 tsp Peter's bloom boost 10-30-20 (dry powder)
1 tsp Neptune's harvest fish&seaweed fertilizer 2-3-1 (liquid emulsion)
2 tsp unsulfured molasses (from my pantry ). It's Crosby's cooking molasses I think which according to their website is 50/50 fancy/blackstrap. Not very well labelled and it's been in there for years.

ANYWAYS, plants are looking real healthy. They were started July 4 and showed their female side first on 7/26 last on 8/4. Lighting has been 9 light/12 dark since mid july. Keeping em short with LST for practicality and for the sake of having everything within 12 inches of the CFLs. Here is a sample image after I removed many of the fan leaves to stimulate the growth of the unexpected budding branches down lower and provide them with light.

Thanks for bearing with me for show and tell now I will get to my actual question. Considering that I don't know the actual finishing time should I cut the nutrients for all of them at seven weeks and flush until finished, be it one more week or four?

or...

Compromise by halting the fertilizer at (seven weeks for example) but continue with mollasses?

or...

Can I estimate the time left based on trich ratio? For instance I would start flush when they reach 50% cloudy. If I want the flush to last one to two weeks what will I look for to know when to begin?

well your using heavily chemmed ferts so i would flush for 2 weeks but first week of flush i would continue using the molassas..then you basicly wait for trichomes to get to where you want them..i need to figure out also when to start flush judged on trichs but im using diff strains/phenos so its harder for me...good luck

Flush for the last 3 waterings (over 10-12 days before the chop).
And harvest to your trichome preference.
