Agent Orange Ready to harvest?

So this is my first grow, and the plant is an Agent Orange grown from clone. Currently at day 61 (Agent orange harvest time is listed by TGA as 55-65 days although I know they don't always fall into those windows). As far as I can tell the trichomes are 90+% cloudy, I have to look hard to find any that are clear or amber. Almost all the pistils have turned color, except for her bottom 3-4 branches which have all of a sudden started a growth spurt (whereas the rest of the plant isn't really growing anything new just plumping up) and are growing tons of new buds and leaves where there was nothing a couple weeks ago. So, any ideas? As it stands I am planning on chopping her day after tomorrow, but leaving the bottom 4 branches intact so they can keep filling out over the next few weeks until they look like the buds in the upper sections do now. Anyhow, enough chit chat let me get to the pictures.
p.s. as you can see I caught a few seeds when she hermied due to newbie mistakes I made along the way, but hey it's my first time so I expected as much

I see no calyx swelling yet...

They look good...

But I would go 2-3 weeks more, sorry...

No reason to be sorry. I'm just wondering if it could be my pics just not showing very clearly, or if the calyces will really swell even more. For example, here are pictures of two buds about 3-4 weeks ago, and pictures of the same two buds now. Im just worried that the fact that she got seeded will minimize the potential swelling as her growth is diverted to seed production and make her look less mature than she is (based on trichomes/pistils/etc.)

Bud (b) 3-4 weeks ago:

Like I said, if I'm wrong and she'll keep puffing out over the next couple weeks that great, but I've been giving her nothing but water for a while now so I'll have to hit her with another dose of nutes if I'm gonna keep her going

Here is THE golden rule...

When YOU think they are done, WAIT two more weeks...

Gotcha! Since she's been on an all water diet for a little less than two weeks, do you think I should give her another dose of nutes to get her through the next two, or just let her keep feeding of the residuals in the soil and topdressing?

She wont need anymore nutrients. The leaves are still green and healthy. Plenty of food in them to sustain her for a couple weeks.

I'd give it another week and reexamine. Take pics of the same buds from the same angles and compare. Also compare the look and feel of the fan leaves. They should start to lose their green color and become more brittle as the plant matures.

It looks good though. She is close but another week or two and she will only get better. Your patience will be rewarded.
