I say not for another 2 weeks but depends on you

what kind of high you want, or what type of high is the strain suppose to give

It still needs to swell and ripen more. 2ish weeks is totally safe, depending on the strain it might even want 3 . Patients is key.

It’s very easy to harvest too early, it’s really hard to harvest to late. As a matter of fact I’ve never seen someone accidentally harvest too late in my last 15 years growing.

Ok I think that's where I been going wrong chopping to early ok I'll wait 2 weeks

Most new growers and even some veteran growers chop too early. The thing is you don’t even know what your missing until you actually take the time to let the plants finish right. Post more pictures in 2 weeks and we will check it out again. In the next couple weeks it probably won’t look like it’s growing much, but it will be swelling internally. That will increase density once it dries, and will add significant weight. I’ve watched strong branches bend over from weight in only 3-4 days during the last couple weeks.

It's already leaning this was just a clone I had taken right before my outdoor bud started flowering so it's not that big

Well if it’s leaning get it supported. Those buds have more weight to put on and you don’t want the branches snapping or the plant falling over.

Ya, I like the plant yoyo's when I need extra support. This was a few days ago.
