To really analyze what is going on, you need to take temps
throughout the season. Not necessarily daily but pay attention with
a high-low gauge. Especially covered. 65 will slow down by a week
or two. Night lows will slow down ripening by a week or two
under 50. Too much heat will near stop growth.
With 30 plants I would experiment. Not just sit and wait and
wonder what is up.
One year with an early frost, I pulled entire plants with green
fruit and hung then upside down in the barn.
I have also topped them like mentioned.
Our temps just jumped back up, day and night. For at least the
next ten days...
If it is only getting colder I would top them or some.
