How do I get the most out of Aurora indica from Nirvana?

Hi,
This is my first grow with Aurora indica from Nirvana. I started the 12 hour light cycle 46 days ago.

When I observe the trichomes with a mini microscope some of them have a milky color and some are still clear. When I look at the buds in daylight about 60% of them looks ready for harvest. Attached photo is taken with adjusted white balance and look somewhat similar to what I see if I harvest a bud and observe it outside the grow room.

How do I get the most out of this strain? Should I flush and the system and harvest in 7-10 days or should I wait another 2-3 weeks?

never grew aurora indica before. she sure looks tasty but i dont think she is done yet. wait a week then see if you have any amber trichomes. flushing is up to you and she is no more then a few week away i would say.

Does it smell like strong ORANGES? You may start flushing if you like, she looks like she can swell up just a little bit more.

Yes she has started to smell strong the last week. I really love the smell, intense and sweet, not very different from strong oranges. I only have two plants of this strain but I am a little bit worried about the smell. If I grow 5-6 plants in my next grow I will consider to invest in a ozone generator as extra protection. I think I let her swell up a little bit more like you suggest. I would like to see more milky and amber colors in the pocket microscope. My guess is that this strain needs a long flowering time.
