hairs on outdoor buds

It's almost October here in the Midwest and I'm closely watching my outdoor aurora Indicas and the weather to time my harvest...the thing I've noticed is that the white hairs on the buds don't seem to be turning orange and brown like their indoor sisters...they are all retreating in like they should but no color change as of yet..buds are huge and the weather is becoming cold and damp for the most part...should I chop or continue to wait?

All the pics I have of them are blurry..I'll have to post some in the morning after work when I can take some ones worth looking at...
already only 53 degrees out tonite at almost 9 pm..getting worried about the damp/cold combination..don't want to leave them out too long and continue to risk mold

Yea I was thinking 2nd week of Oct..if the weather cooperates..Temps are dipping into the 40's at nite and we've been getting a lot of rain..so I guess it's wait and watch closely

Without sun they won't do anything and once the soil gets too cold they're done anyway, take them if all you are going to get is cold and rain.
I've got 5 straight days of scattered to steady rain in the forecast with Temps with a high/low of 68/49 on the coldest day..it's touched the high 40's a few times in recent nites but has hovered around low to mid 50's most of the time. It's definitely getting colder..and with the rain..it kinda worries me

I'm in the same boat. Same plants as last year but this year the buds are still rocking white hairs.
I'm also getting weird about this. I don't get mold ever because I have high winds and rain. Never had mold.

Any way, its annoying, also my early is blue dreams (Double dream) finished last year on October 3rd!

WORRRRY!

I saw the bud rot and freaked...after that I just went ahead and pulled..only lost part of one cola..wasn't gonna risk leaving them out In the rain for the next 5 days coupled with cold temps..recipe for disaster...the hairs were all mostly still white..but they had oranges in them and they were clearly degraded and upon inspection of trichomes, which were a mix of clear/milky, I decided they were close enough..

I honestly think that the only reason the one plant had some bud rot was because the particular branch where it showed up was previously injured and repaired...from what I've read about bud rot, that's how it gets into the plant, thru injury...probably couldve just cut that one plant down
