It looks like she ran out of nutrition when she was flowering. It's hard to tell from pictures. You need to get a jeweler's loupe and look at trichromes on the flower, not the leaves. 10 to 30 percent amber trichromes is ideal cut time.

yeah I’m wondering if maybe this was a clone? A lot of popular cuts these days probably don’t perform so great outdoor. Looks beautiful but smaller buds I mean. I’d guess 10-14 more days. If you can go that long there in the PNW

If the buds are milky white and not glossy and clear then I would chop it otherwise it’s going to start degrading and turning brown and dark orange and crisp up eventually. I can’t tell with the photos of the buds there blurry but just look at the frost and if there’s any white hairs starting to curl in and turn orange they are ready for drying

Hi, happy croptober, did you check the trichomes? for me she looks pretty finish. and not all do build biiig buds, some genetics are like these lovely osebuds, but they look nice and frosty and the color is magnificent so chek trichomes and decide then

not one picture close to the buds, lol. but, i see a lot of white pistils. get a magnifying glass out and check the trichomes. calyxes should be plump enough to make an illusion that the pistils shortened but really teh pod around them just plumped up -- they coil up at end and change colors. once it looks sorta like finished buds, you got 7-14 days left. this varies... development can vary a bit.

try to view the trichomes, jewelers scope works, handheld microscope cheap from amazon better, DYNOLIGHT is the best but costly. clear to cloudy to amber, i cut down at 30-50% amber trichome heads. this is all personal preference and what your end goals are different than my end goals. I make edibles and RSO with my plants so I prefer them to be overly done for more help with sleep and healing. nothing wrong with harvesting when all are cloudy. Anyone else chime in with their opinion? she is beautiful, i bet those temps are getting quite cool at night to bring those colors out, great job!
