So my predicament is I don't want to be too patient and not cut them down when they need to be by the naked eye my trichomes look very milky and about 75% of the pistils are orange each day the plant gets more purple including the leaves also the plant doesn't seem to be growing too much more just changing in colors give me some insight please I don't want to wait too long for the plant to be over ripen

They need more time, always best to harvest later than to harvest too early. 10 days then chop

I don't even know what to look for. The way things are going everything's happened so early believe it or not I'm only at 5 weeks and it's looking close to Done it's a bag seed so I don't know if it's an early Harvest strain. I'm told these are the weeks that it's supposed to get bigger but she's gotten pretty big already and changed a bunch of colors in the last few days could she be close and do I wait for the hairs to turn brown or orange?

if in doubt give them more time, more sleepy hit, more couch lock longer you leave them.
You could harvest now but its a personal choice id live them 10 days, it will make the world of difference to the smoke potency and yield.

Pistils will recede as calyx matures .... look for a high OVERALL percentage if not looking to use a loupe. At least 80% or so will be about right.

Also look at the lower buds not just the very top bud after all, if you plan to harvest in stages, (a good idea if for personal use)

If for personal use remove, the top buds first and let the lower ones mature longer. remove fan leaves that may be blocking light to the lower canopy

It's definitely for personal use but my problem is I've only been flowering for 5 weeks I understand that some plants flower for 8 to 9 weeks but I guess being that this one has been an Indica dominant and it was a bag seed it could be 6-7 weeks of flower I definitely don't want to harvest early and although my wife loves that up high for her anxiety the couch high is a better outcome. And as for the lower branches 3 nodes down and up to the cola are maturing about the same the lower ones still have white hair few Orange. I plan to keep the bottom to Bud points to reveg her for clones because the but she has produced is amazing

To be Honest I would not reveg her, these days strains are so good that almost any strain performs amazingly if grown well. The time it takes to reveg isnt worth it if you can source seeds, seedman probably ships to your country.

By the way I appreciate everybody on this site coming together and helping out knowledge is power and this site has brought my first real grow to a great outcome. Lots of trial and error but a great to harvest and I'm at the point where if anything happens I can Harvest so thank you all

It does but honestly I have no where to send it to this whole process has been a buy as I need budget and all I have are the few bag seeds I find by random. I'm broke bud...

Revegging is tricky and some strains dont take well to it at all.

I've done it several times and not all of them even live through it.

My most recent one took a extremely long time to revegg and finally grow enough to take clones of, the mother was never suitable for flower and died a month after I took the clones. It was a rare case, most arnt so difficult but for a referance on time... i JUST got the first batch of clones into flower after a very short veg and i started reveg at the end of last winter. Took around 3 months to start giving new growth and then it was incredibly slow growing, about 1 mm a day.

I def advise starting from new seeds unless your a experienced grower about to lose a strain you've loved for a long time and cant get back any other way, or know it's a easy reveg

I understand I've def been there.

Plants are like girlfriends though. You dont really know if ones worth keeping until you've had a lot of them and most times you cant back back.

Revegging a plant is kinda like having a addict girlfriend goto rehab. Some turn around quick an are ready to change, some take forever to change and are never really the same after.

Re-vegging is the way to save a strain,don't listen to the people that say not to.It is the best clones you get,monster cropping.

There's nothing to monster crop I'd have to take a cola to do so and with one plant I don't think I could do that LOL that's why the whole revegging conversation came up. I had two other plants turn male during flower and this girl was my smallest put her in the area to save space as almost a joke and she grew bigger than all of them and I had just topped her so all she grew was the stretch phase straight up with no internode's
