The leaves are getting a bit yellow. I fertilized with organic amendments exactly a month ago. Planning to chop as soon as the weather gets cooler in a few days. I may have some trouble getting the room to correct Temps so I may need to chop it on the day its coolest which should about 3 days..

If I need to wait a few weeks should I feed 1/4th dose of some seaweed fertilizer i got laying around? It's called marinis seaweed liquid fertilizer.

Almost forgot to mention it's exactly 8 weeks since I flipped the light schedule and 7.5 weeks since I spotted female hairs.

Looks like the only cool week will be this Friday, 3 days from now. This will be my planned chop day unless you guys think it needs to be chopped now due to the yellow leaves, I added another closer up pic, there are still a few white hairs

IMO - Not done yet, the red hairs haven't shriveled enough.
Hard to tell, also looks to be a fair amount of clear trichs, got some close-ups, maybe a shot of the bracts?

I would wait at least three more weeks

Echoing others, wait a little longer for the pistils to curl in a retract a little more into the bracts. Another week or two?

This is not good news, I've depleted cal mag and nutes last month, the plants now must be starving, should I add some calmag?? i was using all organic ferts, gaia green and i dont think its a good idea to use it now so maybe 1/4th dose go calmag and 1/4 dose of the seaweed ferts i got laying around?

feed it.
whatever medium your growing in, feed until chop.
no proven value in starving the plant.
8 weeks flower isnt very long. just chopped one at almost 13 weeks.
dont go by seed supplier/grower estimates. they are typically weeks short.

let those lower nugs plump up a little more. The pistils are a bit long. Once the calyx they are emerging from swells up.. those pistils will seem much shorter.
