Use a microscope & you'll see witch stage of flowering the plant has reached, cloudy, milky or amber. But in general you should flush at least a week before harvest. And you could use one of the many "final flush" products out there, i'm using Finale Phase - AdvanceNutriens.

How many weeks into flowering are you? Looks like four or five to me. If you know the strain and the approx flowering time you should calculate your harvest date (use this calculator). Flush no more than 10 days but no less than three days before harvest. There's no firm rule on this. If you've been really aggressively feeding your plants you might want to go with 10 days.
If you don't know the strain would you say it's Indica or Sativa? Just generalizing I'd say your best guess is an 8 week flowering period for an Indica and 9 weeks for a Sativa.

Checking the trichs is the ultimate way to figure your harvest date but it's harder said than done for noobs. I prefer to work with a target date for harvest and then go a little earlier or later based on how the trichs look.
Everyone does it their own way. I like to harvest when about 25% have turned milky, most are clear and none are amber. To me amber=past it's prime. How you go also depends on the type of high you want from the finished product. The strain will be the ultimate determinant of the kind of high but you can influence it by harvesting early or late. If you want a couch lock effect then wait till you see amber trichs. If you like more of an "up" head high then cut em down while just some are milky and most are clear.
