You keep dodging questions and are not listening to people's suggestions.
Your plant looks like it has only been flowering for half of it's full cycle. Why would you want to flush it and trim it? Hopefully your stem isn't rotting from overwatering. Giving your plant too much love will kill it just as fast as not giving it enough.
Don't worry about the trace amounts of stuff you have in your municipal water. Evaporate the chlorine so it doesn't kill your beneficial fungi and stuff. The plant will detoxify the other crap on it's own. Just relax and take the advice people give you instead of worrying about the million things you can't control.
Now I'll ask again for the rest of the people on the thread. How long has your plant been on 12/12 and what is the suggested flowering time from the breeder for your strain? With more information, I'm sure the guys with more experience would be able to keep you on track so you can fill your jars with a lovely harvest.

I would expect to take it 10-11 weeks. They descriptions usually lowball the time to make more sales. If you still have a radio shack in your area, you can get one of those jeweler's microscopes for less than $20. Once the pistils(the white hairs)are mostly orange, check the color of the gland heads to see how much clear/cloudy/amber trichs you have. It's usually suggested to flush once you have a good amount of cloudy heads.
When I first started, I was worried about all the tiny details too. I just have to remember that it is just an ordinary plant. Once you get the basics down, you can worry about the little things to dial in your grow. I keep a detailed log that I update weekly so I will know where to make adjustments for the future. It really made a difference between my first grow and the ones after it.

The pics aren't working, but by white spindles do you mean the underdeveloped pistils? Sounds to me like you just ruined your best buds on that plant. You need to go buy a handheld microscope and look at the trichomes. 10% amber pistils sounds like you are way too early.

Doesn't matter how long it has been flowering. What matters is how long it actually has left. I have no idea how that plant hasn't hermed out or died on you man. 
This is what you need to be looking at. Not the hairs on the bud. The hairs can give you an estimation, but you aren't gauging those properly either. If you are in that much of a hurry, just chop the whole thing already because it isn't going to get any better with the way you are fucking with it. You should buy a book. Not trying to bust your balls, but this thread is painful to read.
