Buds don't smell, seed pods show

[major crisis]

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?

[major crisis]

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??

[elway07]

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

[major crisis]

they are flowering since mid august more or less.

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

[elway07]

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.

[major crisis]

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
