If your trichomes a mostly amber you are past prime. Should be 20 % amber 80% cloudy. if you have that much amber a flush product like clearx will only take about 3 days. If you flush with PH adjusted water then about a week. No your flowers will not degrade in that short a time.

What kind of hydro system and what strain ?
What formula are you running with GH nutes ?

If you have alot of amber get to flushing. You will have a good headstone and couchlock for sure.
