Personally id say maybe 1-3 weeks. Have you started checking trochomes? Thats the deciding factor

If theyre all milky id stop giving nutes now and start watching for amber trichs. Some harvest at the first sign of amber and some prefer to let it go a bit amber. If your not sure you can stagger your harvest and get bud at different stages to test. I try not to go over 30% amber. Usually shoot for 10-30

More amber generally results in a more narcotic high. Earlier harvests tends to end up more heady. That said if the strain is meant to be heady you wont have to harvest early for it so if thats what you want you should find a strain for it.

She showed her sex at day 21 (3 weeks from seed)
She is currently at day "I dont know"
once i noticed that you can never actually harvest at the times the breeders of autos say i stopped counting
I just go on how the trichs look and how fat it looks... :)

If you're growing for personal use thats the way to go. Having an idea of how long theyll take just causes problems. Ill take note of when i start flowering just out of curiosity to see how long it took at the end but never for the purpose of determining when to harvest. It adds more complication that one strain i have ran in soil took 12 weeks and in hydro its 8-9 weeks. So knowing the breeder times without knowing how they grow is not very helpful.
