When do I harvest.. it's my first grow.. help! Nuclear sunset strain

[J1XD]

Hello. I have a unique issue I'm finding as I search the internet for a solid answer so I'm trying experienced growers to get a solid answer...

In short I'm the growing nuclear sunset strain

On paper the strain has a flowering time of 45-57 days..
It's currently day 60 into flower so on paper the strain is done growing... But looking at the grow. I know to look for trichomes etc. But what I'm seeing on the grow confuses me... Is it time to harvest by looking at the pics? Or does it need a little while longer...

Just incase because there's the general flowing time and the specific time stated for the strain. I started flushing a week ago just incase.

Any info would help thank you

There's still a lot of white pistils and they will fatten up a bit more... I'd say another couple weeks at least. The time frame they give you is never spot on and so many factors effect length of the grow. Is she starting to be stinky?

Yes, they are, been for a while now. the carbon filter does a good job of taking the smell out tho. but let's say it was not on and I left it turned off. my place will smell like a smoke session when I come in the house from work lol

Thats true, don't go with the time frame and instead look at the trichomes and pistils. upload couple pictures of the trichomes if you have a microscope, but i think @TSD is right and has couple more weeks to go. Here is a explanation

Also, I just been giving it PH balanced water for the last week because I assumed to start flushing since I figured I had week or two left. Should I give it nutes one or two more times. or start the flush fully?

its a soil/coco mix. i started off with soil but as I transplanted to bigger pots, I used Coco because I plan on using coco for now on.

i've never mixed coco with soil cuz their watering methods are different. @growsince79 might be able to answer that
