Ah, yeah that's going to slow things down considerably. She's got lots of ripening to go. When it looks more like something you'd smoke and less like airy leafy buds you'll be close. All the new pistil growth is a sign she's progressing. Once new pistil growth slows, and the red hairs have tucked closer to the buds, and the calyx's are swollen and dense- that's when you want to chop. It won't get over ripe before then because it's progressing slowly because of the struggles you've had. Put another way, it can't get over ripe, if it hasn't even hit ripe yet.
