It’s been years since I’ve home brewed, but dry hopping is something you’ll want do late in the process.
This post suggests a two days after fermentation has started depending on the effect you’re after. Then again after 5-7 days. (See step 4)

I see a few web sites with similar time suggestions.
I believe the later in the process the more aroma you will have in the final product.I love dry hopped beer, best of luck with your brew.
There are a ton of different opinions on this, but I usually did 5-7 days timed out from the day I planned to bottle it. Pushed it to 10 a couple of times and they did come out a little grassy, but not horrible.Secondary for a beer you would want to drink fresh vs. something that you are bulk aging is a whole other question, though.
As @MrOH mentioned above: "there are a ton of different opinions on this".Some folks will opine you should just dry hop for a few days (e.g., 2-4 days) since some commercial breweries do this. Others, like me, will suggest you dry hop longer.
A longer duration for dry hopping is a good idea as regards the potential for hop creep. I personally dry hop for 7+ days and I have never had issues as regards "grassy". I recently bottled a batch where I dry hopped for 13 days. No issues there.
My suggestion is you select a duration which makes you personally feel comfortable.
Cheers!
