You’ve got a long way to go. Fresh healthy white pistils. Some pictures of entire buds will get you a more accurate guess.

Flushing is only needed if you use horribad nutes. Just use a typical amount of straight water the last week an your good. A proper flush ended around 5 years ago when people finally stopped using stupid high pk at the end for zero reason. Flushing didnt really even help those people, and I admit I was one of them for a while.

U got at least 3 weeks if that is your preference on a 5 week time line before you start flushing. So just flush the last 2 weeks.
is there any way to make the buds bigger i only have tiger bloom but only feed it real lightly about 2 times a week with about 2 tsp on a gallon but this lil container doesnt hold that much water i notice theres is a lot of run off water as if it didnt hold or am i over watering. and are this buds a bit small for the time the plant has ?

That looks to be between at or around 4-5 weeks now. If this is your first run with this type of strain I'd shoot for another 3/3.5 weeks with your regular mixtures. The plant will tell you when she is ready, just have to know what to look for. Keep an eye on those pistols, but if you can get a jeweler's scope and focus on the trichs. Then hit it heavy with plain water with heavy run off (if possible), then repeat for just water few days. Those buds will fatten in the later weeks too my friend! Happy growing.

3-4 weeks ...... piece of advice ..... add MORE LIGHT NOW. You have lots good pistil growth so buds are just screaming for as much light as you can give her.
Also..... stop looking at leaf triches . They often mature at different rates. Look at the bud ( calyx ) .
Let the pistils begin to darken and recede. ( not foolproof but tells you that the bud is maturing ) .
Look at various buds not just one or the tallest one. Judge your plant OVERALL not on a few buds.
She’s got a Sativa lean so I’m thinking longer .

Its looking great! Getting bigger and frostier.
I don't care whether you flush or not. Personally after many tests, I learned I didn't need to because I don't over feed in the first place.
BUT you really shouldn't even be worrying about it at this point. You would be doing it at the very end right? Sooo you need to wait until 90% of those white pistils have turned reddish and shrunk down to the buds. THEN if you want to flush the last 1-3 weeks after that point while it ripens that is up to you.
If you start any earlier then that you won't get the full potential of the plant.
