Buds don't smell, seed pods show

Hello :) I don't come here for a long long time, last year all my plants died and I was trully pissed. Well, this year things look a bit better but still not good enough. Alright, here's my question. I have these two plants growing since march and now they look like this:

see photos please

What plants are these? I think they are hermies because I removed lots of male bud before they opened. But the plants don't smell and the lower buds have some seed pods. I have no idea if the plants are ready to be harvested. Should the seed pods open? The hairs have turned red but the whole thing just doesn't seem right. Should I wait some more time till I cut them? The bud at the top is small, the size of a lighter, but it doesn't smell. Can someone help me please?
thank you

What type of light are you using and what nutrients are you feeding them?

no nutrients really, I just put some during veg time but can't say the name in english - it's normal nutrients - and the light is the sun. I've been growing them in the balcony. I feel like harvesting these plants really, I have another female growing but it's different strain and it started flowering 1 week ago. thank you

if all of the hairs are red and you have no way of seeing trichome color with a super magnifying glass then I would say cut it if you are ready... how long have they been in flower??

also the smell thing I wouldn't worry too much about... Some strains don't smell very much at all

they are flowering since mid august more or less.

can I just hang the whole plant to dry instead of cutting every branch?

well without being able to see the trichomes I couldn't say for sure. It usually takes at least 6-8 weeks to finish, but all of the hairs should not be red when you flower only about half....if they are all red... I would harvest... Do you have some white hairs left?

Yes, and it is easiest to remove the large fan leaves first before you hang it.

some very tiny white hairs left, yes, but the whole plant looks pretty mature. I think maybe it began flowering in the beginning of august, can't be 100% sure.
thank you for your help and support.

yes harvest now. It is done... you don't want it to over flower
