What would you do? (Cloudy during harvest)

So my plants are just about ready, trichs have just turned amber and the rest/majority are cloudy. The weather the next weeks (and maybe into winter) is partly cloudy. Mold is not an issue but I am wondering if it is even worth it to let them keep going for another week. By partly cloudy I mean almost no direct sunlight, maybe for minutes a day.

My plants are flourishing currently, theyre full and healthy.

What would you do? Will they even grow significantly enough in this weather?

So assuming its going to be overcast til the time its 100% ready to harvest, I should just act like its any other sunny day. Just let em grow? As long as mold doesn't become a problem...

As long as mould or any other negative variables present themselves, yes sun or overcast I'd let them ride. I might be concerned with rain or excessive dew if they didn't fully dry.

Light is light, a bad day outdoors is better that a good day indoors (as far as light spectrum and intensity are concerned).

alright good advice guys, its just crazy to think plants grow in such dense clouds, ill check the moisture and make sure mold doesnt become a factor.

If your trics are cloudy and starting to turn amber that means it's done. Not sure why everyone's saying to keep going.

Amber = degraded THC = less potent.

This is true....generally. People harvest buds at different times depending on preference...amber-y trichs make for a much more sedated, sleepy stone. Whereas the milky-white will be more euphoric/cerebral (Even if the strain is a sativa or indica, you can get a different effect from the same strain depending on how the trichs are when harvested).

But it IS true that they degrade the further they slouch and the more amber they become...so don't wait too long ;)

The sun is impressive. Even when you can't see the sun lots of its rays sneak thru. Just keep an eye on the humidity so you don't get an pesky molds
