ready for harvest?

ok so i dont know if im ready to harvest this plant yet..my cousin told me to wait until the end of october but the plant is also a hermie so the shells of the seeds are starting to open up..i also water everycouple of days and almost all the leaves are starting to die and fall of so wht do i do? should i top to get the buds light? and im in northern california

Not sure what you should do, but I'd get some tweezers and grab any ripe seeds before they disappear (fall out)
It looks to me like all you have left is secondary leaves, so you surely wouldn't top, IMO.
Any chance it's ripe and ready? Pics a bit undefined.

i think you are over watering - you should only water once every four or five days - only when the soil is dry 4 inches down..
it is pretty late for topping.. i would just let it ripen up - and your cousin is right - here in northern CA we harvest right about the end of oct or possibly into november..

I disagree with that statement....
It all depends what strain when you harvest in northern Ca. I live in Lake County and mine have been flowering for 7 weeks now and the triches are cloudy to amber....In three more weeks mine will be at max maturity....at the end of September.....I start them Cinco De Mayo

okay now, i thought when they were turning amber or at least 60%,was the time to harvest. iguess it matters what your strain is also.

if i was you id harvest soon as possible the plant is killing itself look at all ur unhealthy leafs <3 looks funk as shit
