First time harvest… ready or not?

Any help, I’ve read through plenty of forums on harvest time , this is my first , outdoor grown, just wanted some opinions …
Thanks kindly

Suggest a magnifier so that you can examine the trichomes on flower. Some use a jeweler’s loupe, but a small microscope ($20 to $40 on Amazon) is better. I get pics like this with a small microscope.

You will want cloudy to amber trichomes based on your taste.

Doesn’t look ready yet. When all the pistils have turned brown is a good time to start looking at trichomes.

It had just rained.

These are more from 3rd pic above,
It’s from a completely different plant.

Thoughts?

Can you take a couple of those off and see if seed inside?

[Sunshine85]

Just cut a small top off and no seeds inside ,

Looks great, but not quite ready. Picking the harvest is one of the toughest tasks in the grow.
