When to harvest?

So I'm very familiar with the trichome change and when to harvest but this bag seed grow is throwing me off.

Supposed to be girlscout cookies. Today is the last day of 7 weeks flowering.

Long story short, I only vegged for 2 weeks cause she is a bag seed and I have trusted genetics coming up behind her. So i just want her kinda out of the way for the "good" girls. But at the same time dont want to compromise quality.

She had some nitrogen toxicity around week 2-3 of flower. She got over that with some tlc and flushing.

Right now her trichs are about 90% milky, 5% clear and 5% amber. She looks to be indica dom. When should I pull her? I am doing all organic nutes & soil but i still flush anyway; just me. I am flushing now (been a week).

How long do you guys think before i should chop her? Im in no rush but i dont want a super sleepy stone. Most strains i grow are not as indica dominate as this girl and i have a feeling the nitrogen toxicity played a role in her calyx not swelling up big time. They swelled but not big.

I have birds chirping in my ear telling me to chop since its indica dom and they should be chopped when all milky....

if it is from seed with only two weeks veg and now only 7 weeks flower .... just seem really short to me. If I veg for only 2 weeks then it takes longer before the plant flowers therefore extending my flowering time. My noob opinion is not to cut until 8 weeks min.

By looking they do seem close though .... but hell I don't have that many grows under my belt.

Same here!! It seems short to me as well.

This one confused me lol. I planned on a 9-11 week flower time due to the short veg but it seems to have taken off and ripened up quick...

I appreciate the input and i'm with you; i think 8 weeks but it seems to be adding amber trichs day by day and i dont want to have a super sleepy stone considering this is deff indica dominant.

I should also add that im using a 60-100x scope and im examining top middle and bottom to be sure i have an accurate read

If we look at these factors
A- You don't want a couch lock kind of stone
B. You say its 90 % milky and 5 % amber ?

Then pull it.........IMO
