THC increases linearly towards harvest?

I have some plants that I would like to harvest early. (one has a slowely spreading disease which ill just toss that part of the plant, the other plant is outdoors but it's cold, wet and dark these days).
I'm at the end of flowering week 7 of ~10. Still many white pistels and no amber trichromes at all yet.

My question, does the THC build up aggressively towards the harvest date (like 100% of the THC forms in the last 2 weeks) or is it more of a linear increase in THC (like 10% of it each week). I will turn this into oil anyways so if it's less potent I'll just change the concentration of oil/plant. So I would prefer that over waiting longer and risking frost/disease.
