It stopped raining sometime during the night and the plant had a chance to dry out today. It was still mostly overcast and is supposed to rain again tonight. She's still doing okay, the stigmas are mostly brown and the buds are fattening up.

Oh yes, I’ve been through the PM and bud rot issues before, fortunately only a couple times due to travel and lack of care. Since I’ve been able to avoid with citric acid and fans, even outdoors

Get a box fan or two out there and get a good breeze going through them!

I've had pretty good luck with the indoor grows and now there's fans, exhaust fans, AC, and dehumidifier. So, as long as the electricity stays on, it's not too hard to prevent pm or budrot. I'll be at natures mercy outdoors, and will harvest if I start seeing rot.

The way it's been raining, I'd probably get electrocuted. I'll hit em with the leaf blower when there's a break long enough in the rain.

It rained all night. Having a couple of hours of no rain this morning, before it starts again. I found a few spots to tie up some more of the stalks. The flowers are getting fat, if they can make it a couple more weeks, there will be some really nice flower here. I did my usual, off the upper deck peek at the plant this morning 1st thing, as it was raining. I could smell her during a light rain.

I found two small localized spots of what I think is rot, and if not it's dead plant matter. Removed the offending area and continued inspecting. Found another caterpillar.

The plant survived the deluge, and so did we. There was a little sunshine today and it's overcast again, but not raining at least.
I picked a few caterpillars off the plant in the last few days. A few spots of mold were found on individual buds. Mostly the offending buds were removed, and a couple of small stalks as well.

Some of our relatives from Asheville, N.C. are on the way to our house for a visit, as they have no power and lots of damage to their neighborhoods. We'll get a good visit out of it.

Glad they and you made it through!!!

Thanks Ke0ncp, it's still rained everyday. Maybe tomorrow it will stop for more than a few hours. I've cut more mold off. Some of what I've removed, may have just been caterpillar damage, but some was definitely bud rot. I'm still finding caterpillars on most inspections.

 

[Ke0ncp]

Keep up the good work!!!

 

[gwhunran]

I haven't forgotten about her. I may lose a lot to rot but will still get some smoke off it. I plan on being ready next year, with a cover for the rainy times. It hasn't rained for a whole day now, but the humidity is still high. 96% as I'm typing

The rains have been quiet for a whole day now, but the humidity is still very high. There is bud rot, but some areas are still free of it. Not so much with the caterpillars, I'm finding them almost every time I inspect them. I'm hoping to have the plant at least perk back up to pre rains condition before harvest.

Hello guys, I'll just keep picking them off as I find them. I'll try to hold off on harvesting them for as long as possible. The buds don't look finished yet to me. I have thinned them out a bit so I'll have an ounce to try regardless.

The plant is still hanging in there. Still cutting off spots of mold but most is still doing okay. We have had a couple of days with no rain and none is forecast for the next week. We are supposed to have cold nights starting tomorrow with low humidity. Hoping the plant starts showing ripening.

My tent Girlz are just now turning cloudy. I need more time but I am not sure how things will work out in low 40's F nights?

I'll just keep checking them a few times a day. I've cut some, that's already in the grove bag now.
I've cut off some good chunks of bud due to rot and often just have to cut of a piece of bud and dry the rest. Maybe I got it all, maybe not. I'm hoping the dryness(rh), will mitigate the cool temps. Not supposed to rain till the 18th, so I've got more time to let her ripen. She just doesn't look ripe yet. She is sticky and smells like the Panama I grew in 2022.

The plant is looking about the same. Sunny day today with cool temps and low humidity. Same forecast for tomorrow. The plant just doesn't look ripe. It's still too green for this time of the year. Hoping the cool nights hurries it along.
