Ok I have a little dilemma. From what I can tell, and what some others have said, these buds don't look quite ready for harvest. But as far as I can see, the trichomes are at least 90% cloudy, i have to look hard to find any clear or amber ones. She has been on a water only diet for almost 2 weeks (But no flushing, was just letting her use up all the nutes in the soil since I went 95% organic and lots of stuff in there is slow release). Now I don't know what to do. She is an Agent Orange clone, 61 days into flower, and TGA lists the harvest time for Agent Orange at 55-65 days (I know those estimates aren't always accurate). Should I chop her in the next few days since the trichomes are the right color, or should I give her another dose of nutes and let her keep going for another 2 weeks to let the buds plump up in a more typical way? (I don't know if it changes anything but she got a bit seeded when she self pollinated due to my first timer stumbles)
I don't have a great way to get magnified pics of the trichomes but here are my best attempts

And here are some pictures of the plant as a whole and a couple closeups of bud clusters, the cola, and middle branches.

Just looking for some feedback from the harvest pros. If going through the plant's history would help, or if you're just intreagued, you can check out my newb-journal thread here https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/766090-first-time-grow-advice-feedback.html as it tracks the plant from when I got her as a clone until now (And sorry if this post violates the no multiple threads thing [don't THINK it does or I wouldn't have posted it] I just figured this was a good place to ask this particular question, my deepest apologies if it bothers anyone)
