Branch accidentally broke off does this look ready?

The only way to know for sure is to get a jewlers loupe and inspect the color of the round part on the THC crystals, should have 30% at least of them a light amber color instead of milky clear

I'd say looking pretty good I pulled mine a little early and I regretted it I had less amber

At the end of a cycle , time seems to compress. You wait and wait and then there is a window. You will become familiar after a few grows. The only way to judge a harvest is to have other harvests to compare to.
You have made the decision to be a Gardener. That was the hard part. Soon you will reap its bounty. You will see what works for you in your circumstances and make adjustments.

 

Often you will see more amber on the leaves than the bud. Could you wait a few days and test smoke the bud that broke off? I don't think you are at risk of letting it go too long at this point.

My point is that this is your first. You look hard and do what you want. You use this knowledge for the next (and the rest) of your growing.
We all have different needs. You have elevated yourself above all the wannabes and users.
45 years I have been peeking in at this. Like Yoda I say "No try, Do!"
You will have times of great success and some miserable failure. All we can do is learn.
Amber is what I go by and can't see from your pics. Degradation isn't in a second. You will see plant finishing it's cycle. Just remember this isn't for all time, just this time.

 

I wouldn't worry about degradation at this point. I think you need to wait for more amber trichomes on the buds before you chop. It looks really nice though good job!
And that smoke test should tell you something.
