Question About Pistils and When to Reap

Hi there
I am a 1st time Southern Hemisphere outdoor grower (New Zealand) and I need advice regarding whether my plants are ready to reap or not. They are an AK47 hybrid (AK47 crossed with something else) and they have huge, glistening, mature looking buds on them that are weighing down their branches with how dense and heavy they are. About 90% of the pistols have curled up and are brown - but I cannot see that any of the trichomes are going amber, some even still look clear to me. I have included photos of the trichomes (taken on macro with iPhone 8+ - I do not have a microscope). Have also attached photos of the buds. Please could someone let me know if I should start reaping or not. Many thanks in advance.
