Bud rot! Should I harvest now?

[VanIslandConnoisseur]

My 2 hashsplants are not ideal for where i live, too high humidity and colder temps at this point in the year. I harvested the one hashplant yesterday due to rot but was a 5 weeks. This plant is starting to show 1 or 2 rotten flowers each day, some being the top flowers, its roughly 2-3 weeks from being ready to harvest. Should i harvest? Thanks for your input and time

I did have bowl of some i pulled a week ago and it was super smooth and seemed to get me stoned. Anyone else tried weed that premature?

It’s the eternal struggle in Canada - trying to grow weed outdoors. You definitely need the right strain, climate, and a bit of luck.

Yeah if you’re getting continued rot like that and can’t find a way to make any major changes to their climate, I would chop them. They won’t be full potential but better than fighting mould. You can also make hash, edibles, etc with some of it.

Fuck, that’s a tough call and I feel for you. I’ve been dealing with bud rot up the wazoo as well. That flower will get you high, I bet, but you’ll miss out on a lot of volume and potency if you harvest now. Shit. I’d say keep a real close eye and keep cutting the rot. Find a way to cover them from the rain. If it seems uncontrollable then chop — fuckit, better something than nothing, right?

They look like they’re in pots — can you move them inside on shitty days, keep them under a cheap LED and try to simulate light cycle?

Yo yea eh? And no cant bring em inside, not an option unfortunately, i think im gunna ride it out and lose yield for another week then pull it, worse comes to worse i learn my strain selection lesson even worse. I have a 3rd plant that is from seed, indica dominant and is just as far along. This pheno is resistant to cold and humidity much more then the hashplants. I have hope for this one

Shit, that’s a nice looking plant. I’ve had to chop a gorgeous Harle tsu because the bud rot was consuming it like wildfire. Looked way worse than that, tho. I don’t wanna lead you astray, bro, but maybe try to just cover that shit and wait. Damn, the plant is looking good. I’m trying to start a thread about figuring out how this fungus works: Respect for bud rot

Like I say in my post, it seems to start with the preflower and then rots up from there. I hate to give this pathogen any props but it’s fucking clever as hell. I’d appreciate it if you weigh in with your experience.

Could you chop out all the rot, salvage a mini harvest and carry on flowering?
