I’m honestly not sure if it’s just me, but unless pics are uploaded as full image those pics always get cut off half way. So sorry I’m not able to see the full pic. Once it ready to upload hot full image. Not thumbnail

I can see the white pistils there. That has weeks left.
Read pistil colors don't really matter and I don't have weeks left before it hits freezing Temps here and it's supposed to rain for 4 days. I don't want it to mold or anything will it be alright

Must be my phone then. Cause yeah that didn’t help. Lol. But going off the one that said 3 days ago, that has ripening to do. Pistil colours do matter. Lots of white says it’s still immature. But not only colour, they will curl back into the bud as it swells. My climate is BC. I still have 4 in the ground. Had to build a tarp awning to protect from rain. Already had a good frost. There still alive and doing well. In these temps it’s expected that it will slow or dam right stop growth. But further ripening will continue, as will resin production. If anything the cooler temps increase the frosty resin production. That’s what I’ve experienced

Protect it from rain if you can. I just built a makeshift awning to keep airflow going through all sides. Ride it out as long as you can. Inspect daily a few times for mold. But if you don’t have it, take em as long as you can. They have weeks left
Well I just checked the forecast and it changed supposed to rain today and tomorrow then a few days next week I lost half my harvest to mold last year and just don't want it to happen again I think it will be alright if I just check them daily like was mentioned and also theh shouldn't have many weeks left being in the back end of week 7

I hear ya. Mold scares the shit out of me. But I’d kill for those temps. I’ve been running mid to high 40’s day time highs. Low 30’s overnight for 10 days. Even had a frost. Still going. If you can protect from rain that will help. I’ve taken 2. Have one more ready Monday. But the other 3 need 2 weeks. So if I can I will try my best to let em ripen.

Those aren't close to finished. Put up an awning or something to protect from rain. Harvest that now and you'll be upset with the result.

Think you mentioned back end of week 7. Throw breeder timelines out the window IMO. I running fast version said 7 weeks. In week 10 with 2 more to go. There done when there done

You have been told repeatedly that they aren't even close to finishing. You can think they are almost ready all you want but they aren't. They are your plants so in the end you're going to do what you want anyways. GL
Yeah I was and we had conversations about everything no need to come off as a dick man did I say I was going to harvest them or check then daily to make sure that mold doesn't take ahold of them? I'd rather chop early then lost 3/4 of my crop due to mold like I did last year have a good day

Not being a dick, being truthful. Just saying they aren't even close to ready.
You pretty much said you were going to harvest them very soon.
There's no need to check them daily as they won't be ready for many weeks. What week they are on is irrelevant. If you need to harvest them it's going to be from an issue not because they are ready
But that's just my opinion, I'd rather trash a plant than harvest something sub par.

My last plant took 16 weeks to reach ripeness, this one looks like she needs a month plus.
I say, try to cover them from rain as much as you can, and keep them well ventilated. Take out some leaves from the center to add air flow. She can do it!

Add a weatherproof industrial fan if you need to.
I am going to check them daily for mold not the trichomes to see if they are ready
