She's looking great! Get a cheap jewellers loupe - super cheap on eBay etc - 60x magnification will let you check the trichomes properly to see where they are in terms of cloudy and amber, otherwise it's somewhat guess work Happy Growing

Hey buddy, you should make some micro pics to check the color of your trichomes. The color of your pistils (this is actually the term for the hair NOT for the trichomes!) is no indicator for harvest. This is the knowledge our dads used to spread in the 70s, which is nowadays known better. You have to decide whether you want to harvest on more cloudy or more amber trichs. The turn will differ a lot - the more amber trichomes you have, the more of a body buzz/couch lock will be created. Cheers :-))

I see very few amber trichomes. If you harvest now, you will probably have maximum thc content which is great for medical uses. Recreational users tend to prefer more amber trichomes which indicate other cannabinoids that increase the strength of your final product. Its up to you, most people prefer to wait until 10-20% of trichomes are amber.
