I'd say she has a couple weeks, when the hairs all turn and your trichomes are milky and amber then they're ready. I prefer more amber color. They look beautiful otherwise bro, great job on your first grow, much better than my first lol

When did you start flowering time? From switch or when sex showed?

She showed her sex on the 5th day of flowering. She was in veg state for 30 days.

I'd say probably another week and a half to two weeks. Have you started flushing yet? This might be a good time to start. Molasses and water is what I like for a real long flush, the molasses wont make it burn harsh, but it'll feed the plant enough to drag out the flush. You can use plain water for your last few drenches before chop if the molasses makes you nervous.

what you look for when you get good ad judging "ripeness" is length of trichs..the elongated bending trichs only show at the end of flowering and when you see these start your close also alot of hairs will be orange and some color change may take place in the buds or leaves..you will also see a swell in the last couple weeks and everything will plump up.....alternatively look for cloudy trichs through a loupe....id say 2 weeks just looking quick

Yeah couple more weeks bro for sure, when all your hairs turn and start to recede into your buds your ready. Use a loupe for watching trichomes...patience is a virtue when growing

I started flush her oh the 7th of January, because on the site they said, that the flowering time is 8-9 weeks. So i thought i flush it 11 days before the first day of possible harvest, and i'm giving her water with mildly nutrients (1/5th of the recommended) on every 3rd day.

^ that is not flushing....also chem ferts or are you organic? you cant physically flush organic soil

Actually you still can nute as long as the plant is capable of absorbing and utilizing the amount given...a 1/5th strength of nutes will still allow the plant to feed off its foliage enough to remove chlorophyll before harvest...bout a week prior is the most i flush

thats what flushing is!!!!! your far from worrying about your last few weeks if you dont correct your problem....repot in better soil....if you choose chem ferts then yes you flush for the last week and a half ish if you choose organic soil and organic nutes you literally cant flush it nor do you need to......also your using mg and you cannot flush miracle grow you also shouldnt add any other nutrients when you are using miracle grow!!

lmao disregard the mg complaints i mixed you with another thread 
def looks good on this thread and now that i know where i am i agree a week to ten days flush is fine and i dont ever need to add nutes but i see what is meant by adding a little is fine..keep in mind though those strengths are on a week schedule usually so if you are feeding every 3 days which i thought you said then you are actually giving more near 1/2 strength unless im miscalculating something....also as i said before if in organic flush is unnecesary!

I'm using General Hydrophonics Europe Nutrients, and she is in BioNova SoilMix A-Quality.
According to all your suggestions i will only give her water.

Precisely my thoughts kermit, but it all depends on how he feeds...if he does feed water feed water etc. he would be on point and still the plant would of more than likely used up all the nutes added by the next watering

All in all i'd say week to a week and a half prior start your major flush
Beautiful!! But you are still honestly 4 weeks out...... 3 at the very minimum.You have to be the utmost patient.
