I'd giver her another couple of weeks. Have you checked the trichomes for clear, milky, amber?
What color are the trichs? Looks like a cool plant. Are you in southern hemisphere? Id say a couple week still at least. Only way to tell is looking at the trichs

The trichomes are milky, non have started browning yet. I’ve tried looking online for when the best harvest time is but a lot of the information conflicts so I’m not sure when to harvest. And yeah I’m from South Africa growing Malawi Gold

Like everyone said.
That appears to be a full on land race Sativa growing outdoors so expect very long flower.

Cool I'm down in cape town. Personally I'd take a Malawi down as soon as the ambers show up on the flowers. Thats just personal but I find that's the best way to get the most out of a Malawi or similar. Amber tends to kill that clear soaring high in my opinion.

Amber colored trichomes or amber pistols ?
Trichs. That's the only way to be sure. Your flowers look about done but as you said no Amber. It's pretty much a personal choice as to when you harvest. Was just giving you my opinion.

Got some pics through a magnifying glass
Cool. I recon at least 10 days away. I don't see any Amber, I'd say 2 thirds milky and a third clear. When you spot an Amber or two dotted in amongst your milky ones that's when I chop. Like a % or max 5% Amber.but again it's personal choice. Do you like to get high, stoned or a mix? I like to be high and not stoned hence I harvest at max thc.

This helps a lot thanks! I much prefer getting high over getting super stoned, so I’ll definitely harvest according to your reply
Maybe get a few more answers. Some of the local saffers should be happy to give some opinions too. @Smeegol @Strainyourbrain , @Peter Green @Carmen Ray @Tabenf what do you guys recon?

If you enjoy a racy head high aim for all milky and if you want to smash a pizza/movie head into Amber territory but it's all down to personal preference, I'm down in kzn nice to meet ya brother.

I recon if you're running low on smokable weed, it'll be worth a chop but otherwise I'd leave it a bit longer, like @Lerugged said, at least another 10 days in the hope that she'll pack on a bit of weight too. ...if you need weed, maybe just chop off a branch or two
Exacary .. or harvest a few buds that look more ready.

@Michael23SA Hey whatsupp 
I've also got a plant that looks just about done but, upon closer inspection, still has clear trics. I've taken a very small branch off 3 days ago and am looking forward to at least tasting what she tastes like. I've got some dried and cured smokable weed but not nearly as stinky as what's goin on now. Good luck on your harvest!
