New grower here. How many more weeks for these ones do you think? They’ve been copping some serious heat, multiple days over 40 c or 105 f for my American gang (I’m in Western Australia) I’ve moved them to a cooler spot of the yard with a bit more shade cause they weren’t coping too well. Watering in the morning before work and after work in the afternoons currently. Photos in the dark are 430am before work and the other photos are roughly 5:30pm
How much longer?

Those terpenes still look plenty clear with some milky white, the heat can definitely effect and evaporate terpenes so definitely try to bring them in cooler temps if possible. If you can't prevent those extreme temps going forward it might be worth harvesting now vs losing your terpenes.

I thought those terpenes weren't right myself.
looks like the weather is cooling down a bit this week so I’ll move them to a cooler spot. If left do you still think another couple of weeks?

Your plants look more like the buds need more time to fatten up and for your terpenes to all mature to your liking and at the very least all be milky white or have some amber if you want that couch lock type high.
I would definitely say they need a few more weeks to plump up and mature and you'll want to flush at minimum a week before you're ready to chop.
These are my babies and up close you can see the buds are creating terpenes but they are still mostly clear and the buds need 3-5 weeks of growth and maturing on the two side plants Critical + 2.0 on the left and Northern Lights ohh the right.
My middle Critical Orange Punch is 8+ weeks with the two side plants entering week 10.
Only harvest early if you can't save your crop from extend temperatures as those terpenes will degrade and evaporate away.
Giving your plant more time to mature can increase your yield and help your plant reach it's maximum potency.

Thanks mate think I’ll leave them for a couple more weeks out of direct sunlight and see how they go

They got some time. Just a couple things I noticed you may want to keep an eye on
webbing? Spider mites?
that looks a little funky imo
more funky look and maybe pm.
next yr you need to step up the ipm/bug control
Just things that caught my amateur eye . Theres also a two foot hair or web running across the whole top. GL

Yeah they’ve been smashed by bugs lately, but I don’t want to spray anything on them while they’re this close to harvest. I’ve been inspecting them every day and any bugs have been killed. That hair is probably from my missus, that shit gets everywhere thanks for you me feedback mate, I’ll definitely step up my cleanliness and pest management game next crop!
