Harvest early due to rain?

I have 3 plants late in flowering stages with between 2 and 3 weeks to go, maybe one month max, they flowered late this year. Who here harvests early or lets your girls take the rain? I can't get to them to shake water off after rain but the forcast for the next week at least is rain and showers, Will i get mold? I don't like smoking hay and i don't want to loose my buds to mold.

heres the forecast if anyone cares lol

the 3 strains are Snow white, Blackjack and Bubblelicous. any help would be appreciated

They still have a bit of swelling up to do so harvesting isnt really ideal
 
I'm no expert but I have found unhealthy plants get bud rot easily , and healthy plants even with shitloads of rain seem ok to me , I would leave them if if they were healthy but could be wrong
 
theyre all very healthy, starting to turn purple due to late flowering and cold weather, already had a couple of frosts lol. i guess i'll leave them and take my chances, but havn't seen rain like this in a while. my luck lol
 
Its a tough call, a week is alot of rain, Id say if you cant get up there frequently to see if/how bad mold is progressing, then Id cut shortly, if you can get up there, nearly daily eyefucking your plants for mold, and cutting any mold out that you find you could be alright, otherwise that mold will spread rather quick, If you cant get up there often enough, give them a little longer maybe 2-3 days and cut
