I have one starting to ripen. If I wanted to try and have it last 5 weeks, what are the tricks I can use to make it last?

Keep it on the vine. White sheet to keep it cooler.

I would bet peroxide or bleach treatment to the stem/vine if your feeling ambitious could def get you a few more healthier days...good luck framac...master gardener contender?...hmmmmm...
