Complete newbie here, have this auto AK47 which should've been done last week (outdoors), I let it go another week, it's looking pretty good, but now that I'm so close, I don't want to make the mistake of harvesting too early.

What do you think? Good to go?

Thanks!

It looks a little unhealthy in places to be honest, which probably means any further ripening will be slow. It will probably be pretty vulnerable to bud rot. It can certainly be chopped now, and if there's any risk of rot wherever you are (high humidity, rainy weather etc) then that is what I would do.

Ideally you look at the trichs under a microscope and harvest when it's clear/milky for a more heady buzz, mostly cloudy/milky for highest THC, and more amber for more couchlock. I can't see any amber, but it looks milky-ish...

Thanks for the reply! Yes, we've had hot end of July/August (approx. 35°C), that's why it's looking bit fried up, but the flowers look healthy...? Yes, looks cloudy, can't see any amber. Humidity is mid 40% to mid 50%, no rain. Based on your valuable feedback, I think tomorrow is trimming time!
Thank you!

Picture 1 has some sort of webbing on it. Might want to check for spider mites.
