How do you tell if green Conadria figs are ripe?

This is my first season with the Conadria, and I have 1 fig that changed color to yellowish green while all the rest were still firm green. It had brown spots on it now. And it is swelling up. It is only half-droopy. the skin started looking bumpy.

So my question is that, is it possible for some fig varieties to not droop, and remain firm to the touch when ripe? Is conadria one of them, as it has been this way for over two week now, and I heard conadria is a cruchy fig?

It is only half droopy. I suppose it is because the neck is long and thicker than other varieties I have seen. Maybe that is preventing it from drooping. It already has a hint of softness.

As you can tell, I'm waiting to try this, but hesitating because I don't want a bad impression from eating fruit when it is not ready.
