It's hard to tell if its ready, it does look very nice. I myself would let it go a week or two longer to see if its putting out any new pistols, and go from there. but watch out for any pests that might have came in from outside.
The best way to tell is by looking at its trichomes, can do this by using a Macro lens on your camera/phone or get a magnifying glass and take a look.
Google is your friend and they have some good side by side comparisons of clear, cloudy and amber trichomes so it can help you identify your progress. I like to harvest with about 20% amber, some people wait for a 50/50 mix some people don't like any amber. Its all a mix of energetic and relaxing energies when your talking about cloudy and amber. All amber trichomes will give you a strong couchlock and be heavily sedating, Has to do with how the cannabinoids form and change. thca to thc to cbn, all happens with time.
THCA,> non psychoactive, THC> psychoactive, CBN> mildly psychoactive. They turn into one after the other over time and to large degree, heat exposure.
