7 weeks seems a little to harvest with more than half milky trich's

I know the title is more of a statement then a question, but my Nirvana Blue Mystic hit 7 weeks of flowering and the trichs are showing over fifty percent milky. However, the calyx's have not swelled yet and the majority of pistils are white. While looking through my microscope on one section of the bud every truck was amber. Should I harvest it or let it fatten up? I'm afraid that if I let it go longer the Trich's will quickly degrade. The strain says to harvest between 7-9, but the fact the swelling is still taking places makes me second guess harvesting, what do y'all think?

The pistils should be getting darker and withered, the calyxes should be swelling and engulfing the pistils and the trichs should be a solid milky.
I had a chance to observe a plant go too far because it was in with others that needed more time and I had no place to put it if I harvested it first.
What I thought was milky from past experience kept developing into a more solid milky trich and I had never noticed that the milkiness can keep getting fuller.
Finally, I started seeing the amber ones staring to appear after almost all the trichs had turned heavily milky.
My advice is to not jump the gun too quickly with milky trichs since they seem to develop into much milkier trichs before becoming over-ripe.

snip a bud, dry it, smoke it, you decide man geesh think about it.
100% cloudy at minimum, like those books you already read, grow bibles and such say.
chances are your room does not provide all of the necessary resources for full development like the breeder room does, and this could explain why I suspect your plant may need every bit of that 9 weeks, maybe more to finish. looks great !! have patience

Thank y'all I appreciate all the wisdom!

Yeah it didn't feel right to chop it. This neutral smelling plant is no longer neutral and the leaves are starting to fade. The plant just didn't seem like it was ready

I'll post a pic of it later on. I was thinking about giving it Garrett Juice (equal parts:Molasses, Apple Cider Vinegar, compost tea, and kelp) with some Cal/Mag, and maybe Azomite, for the last boost.

Should I cut down the fan leaves?

Just need some harvest tips

dont add a fukking thing but water, its finishing right? leave molasses in the kitchen. with the apple cider vinegar forever. not needed, dumb too, plain stupid. if you dont have bennies in there by now you aint gonna make a difference.. Compost tea and kelp should have been fed earlier. let her be.
cut a bud, experience the effects and you'll know forever. dont fuss with her

for all new grows [except the guy who thinks watering your plants with kief is a good idea] if you think you need to chop wait 2 weeks.

Came home and checked on the plant; what a terrible mistake it would have been to harvest now. She is chunky-ing up
