Terpenes not milky yet, but i am checking them daily. I am a little concerned about night temperatures reaching down to 45° F. Any thoughts on the temperatures?

Buds still have a lot of white pistils and look like they need to fatten up some more, hopefully you can make them last another 2 weeks or so. I’ve had plants outside before with temps in the 30’s, as long as it doesn’t frost. They slow down, but if your daytime temps are ok, let them go if you can.
Do you get much dew in the morning? That’s the killer, damp buds may develop bud rot. When you harvest, do a bud wash in 5 gallon buckets with hydrogen peroxide and water, rinse in a bucket of water only. Gently shake dry (I hold my bud in my hand, branch up my arm, and spin like a giddy child to spin water between wash and after rinse). Then I hang from shower curtain rod with a fan gently blowing on them for a couple hours, then dry as I normally do.

Still looks like a couple good weeks to me also. Any chance you can cover them with a sheet or tarp at night to keep the cold and dew off?
Maybe difficult to get a sheet over them. By 10 a.m. they are in full sun until about 5p.m. I have 1 bubble gum and 1 Bruce Banner that are almost 6’ tall. A sheet would bend them quite a bit.

I hear ya. I used to drape one over a couple ladders and kinda tent them up but they wernt quite that tall
@SmithReed get 5 ten foot 2x4’s. Make a tent frame, make 2 /\ shapes for the ends and use the 5th one to go horizontally across the top and drape/staple some plastic over the top. That would give you the height and width to keep them dry!
