Hey GWJ! Looking great man 
Looks like some good trichome production happening there and your flowers are filling out well. They'll be good for the 5 days you're gone. Enjoy and be safe

Day 58, can you guys give advice when is the best time to harvest them? I know it still at least 12 days or longer. But i want to estimate time to flush them. Is it possible to only just observe pistils and ignore the trichomes?
Not with any reliability. Did you lose your loupe?

Day 58 of bloom or day 58 that the plant is alive? I forget if you're growing another auto or not.

No, that loupe is hard to use, i want to buy a loupe with clip so i can take clip on phone.

Those can be tedious, but surely it'll show you a nice grouping of trichomes? All you need to do is get a very rough estimate of clear/cloudy/amber trics by quick scoping various buds etc. Do yourself the favor though and buy a cheap USB scope. They're not likely good enough for actual science, but still, they're PERFECT for scoping trichomes while using your cellphone as the graphic display.

Ok, i'll go buy a usb microscope later. It can connect to my phone right? Do you have example image so i won't buy the wrong item.

I just go take a look, it got cloudy trics, roughly 20% of them. Most of them still crystal clear.

Wait till most of the clear changed to cloudy. I don't care for too many amber, but clear trics barely get you high and the smoke will add anxiety in your chest. It's not enjoyable at all.
HERE is a cheap scope on Amazon, and it appears to come with the USB conversion jacks for connecting to android phones. They have a thumb wheel on the side of the scope that is used to adjust the zoom. Make sure the one you order also had LEDs to illuminate what you're scoping.

I plan to start flush them during my 5 days off. Do i have to mix ph 6.5 water to flush them?
Flushing will remove nutrients from the soil, but will not improve anything in the buds. You can just provide water during the last 2 weeks, and the plant will pull what it needs from its lower leaves.

I still doubt will flush improve the smoking experience or it just a myth, whats your opinion? Do you flush?
No, I don’t. Proper drying and a good cure are what leads to great taste and aroma.

Scientifically, it isn’t possible to leach “excessive” nutrients from the buds.
