Welcome! Nice looking lady! Looks like you have a little time. Need to check the trichomes (crystals) on the buds.

It is all christalized the buds are loaded but no pistol hairs yet am I saying that right?

No hairs isn’t a common thing, but not unheard of. The crystals, when looked at very closely, will appear cloudy. I used to have a chart, but got a new phone and its gone. One minute…

Here ya go. Remember, check the buds. You’ll need a jewelers loop or digital scope…

“White hairs” (pistils) not “brown” or amber, enough, pictured below.

Can you show closer picture?
Cut a “tester” view and smoke
Report back.
Be advised, whole plant harvest may not always be best method for ROI.
Couple more weeks if you can. I had to harvest my winter 2023 crop in time for cure before 2023 summer travels.

Light Amber, clear, not cloudy (but starting).
Note Light “shine” reflects (causes Shine) if too much.
