Can anyone tell me if these seeds are ready to harvest? Best pics I could get.

They kinda still look a little green.

Do you think days or weeks?
I’ve never done it but have read that it takes about 3 weeks to produce a mature seed. How long have they been cooking in the oven?
If they are no longer in the pod ie the seed pod has opened, it is ripe. In nature the seed gets shook out in the wind or eaten by birds and shat out. The other common thing is the seed just composts in the rotting buds. Some mature seed pops out all by its self! If you can see the actual seed its done.

Generally, the idea is to let a mom begin to shed seed. Then you know it is mature. You can take it earlier. What I look for is swollen bracts that have split open and the seed is partially visible.
