I know you don't want to shit bulk, the fact you are doing it on only 3,000kcal tells me that. In your case you have even less to worry about in terms of fat gain, so I wouldn't sweat the couple of pounds you'll put on.
I'd do it on time or bodyweight, not mirror because if you are worried about fat gain you'll freak out and want to cut in a month or so. The advice I gave about changing your mentality towards bulking remains the same regardless of whether it's a dirty bulk or a clean one.
