Thank you very much and how long do I leave the hop bag in?

Hey I started a Sierra Nevada pale clone. I pitched at right above sixty with OG of 1.062 I am suppose to dry hop at a week or when fermentation is near completion. First what is The best way to dry hop with pellets, second I have not had any airlock action how do I know when I should add hops.
