Ready to harvest?

Hi all, first time grower here.
I have germinated and planted Hulkberry Automatic flowers 10 weeks ago and was wondering if they are ready since the chart says 8-9 weeks.
This is what they look like now:

trichomes at top buds of plant:

A somewhat experienced friend of mine told me they are ready for harvest, but I wasn't too sure about that and thought it would be worth checking online/with others first.
I find it pretty hard to tell if they're ready but judging by what I saw and read online I feel like they could go a bit longer, maybe someone else is able to give a better estimate on if they're ready or not though.
Maybe it's also worth adding that the upcoming days are gonna be cloudy and even rainy at some times.
The plants do have some rain protection, but it definately doesn't catch all the water.
If anyone needs more pics/other info I'll make sure to provide it :)

Not yet, mine still had like 4 or 5 weeks when they looked similar to yours.

they also claimed 8 weeks to harvest and took 12 and 14.

The buds should have no white hairs, especially the top colas.

Well your friend is not experienced if he thinks those are ready. For one there is no weed on them. So why would he tell you that. Jealousy. Weird. To even a novice grower those look pre mature. You have better judgement then you buddy. So he should be asking you for advice lol.
give her some time. Few more weeks

I agree with @A.k.a you have at least 5 weeks to go. It sounds like your friend is a complete dipshit and has zero experience in the growing arena.

Listen to all these guys man not your friend, but to anwser your rainy day qeuation I am mostly outdoors just started indoors. But if you have extra moisture in your buds when when sun comes up can burn your plants. Water is like a magnifying glass to the sun. If you can just gives them a little shake. Good luck and wait it out, your buds will get atkeast double that. Keep feeding and watering her right!

Thanks for all the info folks! I very much suspected my friend was talking nonsense, so glad to have that confirmed lol.
I'll wait around 4-5 weeks and see how the flowers are looking by then and I'll keep a close eye on other signs in the meantime :)
happy I dodged an early harvest thanks for that guys!

I avoid water on the leaf in the morning before sunrise. But I live in the high desert where temps often exceed 110. This year 120! So yeah. Water droplets left on the leaf. Can burn when temps jump to 95 at 8am

Is it now? So you can mist plants I doors with lights on? The dun wouldn't do the same thing with mist all over your outdoor plant

Indoors I have zero need to ever mist my plants with anything. Feel free if you want to though.

My outdoor plants are constantly wet from rain and then the sun beats down on them. Haven't seen a single burn yet. Have you?

Like everyone is saying, they need a couple more weeks. Fuck breeders times, they're purely for advertising IME. A lot of growers want a quicker crop and 8 weeks to harvest is a very enticing offer
