Always go by the trichome color to determine harvest. Use a 40x jewelers loupe to check the trichomes. Most growers will harvest with mostly cloudy/milky with 5% to 30% ambers showing. In a pinch it's usually safe to harvest once a few ambers show up on the calyx but may give you an intense head type high. The more amber the more of the body high you will get. I would put her some where slightly sheltered from the rain until harvest she needs less light during the ripening stage plus she has a nice open/airy growth style so hopefully mildew won't become an issue.šŸ‘

Keep her out for as long as you can and coverage from any rain would be recommended too! Iā€™m in Canada and our growing season is very similar to yours in the UK. If u keep her dry, she might make it before any frost/bud rot forces u to harvest. Buy a cheap used microscope or jewellers loupe and check her trichomes. That will take all the guess work out of it and allow you to harvest her when u see your desired ripeness. If it frosts, she might make it thru one maybe two but if she gets the rot/mold- harvest her immediately. Better to have some quality bud than nothing right? Hope the weather holds for all of us northern climate growers and cover that little lady up- she looks great but not ready yet! Cheers!

It will depend on how she looks by trichomes. But if she needs more then u can build a little greenhouse with pvc or wood around plant and put some heavy duty plastic around if the temps get to freezing. If not just cut her and take losses

I would personally say you have at least three weeks left, maybe 4 or 5. Best thing to do is not rush it, you will be disappointed. Do you have a light inside or greenhouse you can move it to if it gets frosty. But a mild change in weather towards the end of flowering can also be beneficial to trichome production šŸŒ±šŸ˜Š

Ro not hate yourself you should check the trichomes ratio before you harvest and the best way is with a 40x magnifier, like that you will be able to know if the effect will be an energetic high ( clear trichs ) a deep stone ( amber trichs ) or a 50/50 effect (50 % clear 50%amber ). NOW from what I can see on the pics and thanks to my own experience I can tell that if you harvest now you are about to hate yourself !! 2 more weeks at least for me ( even 3 )
