The trichomes are not the best way to judge maturity in cannabis, and if you do decide to use them as a guide take a picture with a white light so the trichome heads color could be evaluated.
By the looking of the buds they look ready to chop. A full plant picture will give a better evaluation.

But it takes a month to dry correct? So still need a lil bit

Not correct at all.
Should take 3-7 days to dry. More than that and you risk mold.
Then you want to cure for 2+ weeks. You can still get a good idea about the smoke before curing.
My stats are
Drying : RH 50%, temp 26°C
Curing (in the jars): RH 65%, temp 28°C
Smoking and storage: RH 30-40%, temp 4°C. For longtime storage temp -18°C.

A month to dry and cure takes about 3-4 weeks.

Okay so one of my grape cushes smelled like a chemical smell is this bc it just started curring?

Might be. Smells and tastes develop while curing as they chemically degrade. Moreover, the chlorophyll and some other compounds break up which should remove the hay like smell of freshly dried weed.
As for the rest of the harvest, proper (white light, stable camera, no flash, full plant and close up on a few buds) pictures is your best option.
