BIG DECISIONS. Hopefully all goes well for you. Seems like you have a solid plan :+1: I’ve been assembling a dry tent and lung room to handle the harvest, seems good so far.

Nice question. I belive it is due to genetics, our ecosystem abd current world environments compared to the past. Plus bigger buds equal bigger problems sometimes.

Right. I chose super lemon haze, which has a later flowering period and I’m in Ohio, so that wasn’t the best strain to put outdoors.\nEspecially when they ended up seven and a half eight foot tall with massive dense buds and colas

Not 100% but damn close, we are great weather ATM, but I am going to bet dollars to donuts the bottom is going fall out soon enough, one will come down Fri-Sun sometime maybe able to take another also but a good share have at least 3 weeks and 2 have more here is what some look like after I went them with sissor hands.

So the battle continues, if you have a massive amazing apple tree, you surely are going to have some bad apples same with marijuana.You can only do what you can do :100: harvest day is 2 weeks out and I’m glad I did not harvest everything early on emergency protocol.There is much more better yet to come.

Okay i finally got things under control. Weather has been decent. Kond of cold and a couple of rains/fog. But i have had very little bud rot coming up. Cyt out infected, harvest if its worth it and close enough, create air flow and do a heavy fan leaf removal. Everything’s going well :+1: totally glad i didnt harvest everything early or use and control sprays at all.

I had great success with ZeroTol HC in the past.

I stay clear from sprays and chemicals/ organic whatever. I get it im in a bad region for the particular strain that i chose due to the fact it has a longer flowering period. Lesson learned. But i have long ago learned to not flip out and completely freak out. These plants have been growing for millions of years. They can mostly handle themselves if you give just a little love everything is all good. Freaking out applying tons of treatments and completely overreacting is what not to do. We often do more damage than good. Even with early harvest. You can not undo what has been done but you can make what you have better or the conditions better

I used the BT spray for the worms and caterpillars a few different times early on for preventative means.
