Plant was developing bud rot on several areas of plant. It is very early for it. Will be back for full harvest
Smoke review
So plant is dry and curing. Lost about 75% of the plant due to rot. Wish it could have lasted. The buzz is ok 5 out of 10. Probably due to taking early. The taste is sweet with pepper. I'm sure will be better with cure. This is not a plant I will grow outside again due to my shorter grow season. I might try un a tent someday.
Last year I sprayed regularly with LAB (lactic acid bacteria) and had almost no bud rot. This year I only did it once or twice and I seem to have a lot more bud rot. Nothing catastrophic but it slows harvest and is a pain.
You might try LAB next year to control it.
@Northern_Ent, I lost another 1/2 plant on my blue dream due to mold. That skunk and critical will give me 2+lbs, I got 8.8 oz off blue dream and probably 1/4 lbs off the haze. Around 3 lbs for first time and should last the wife and I until next harvest.
@Hempy_The_Kid, ouch. I’m checking them everyday so nothing gets too out of hand, but my first year Pineapple Chunk I didn’t check it for about 4-5 days and lost most of it to rot. Can happen fast.
Your plants did great so I’m surprised it’s your first try outdoor. This is my fourth year growing and second at scale with my license. It’s been like getting another degree with the research involved to figure out how to do every step (and within the constraints of the legal system) from making feminized seeds or cloning to hash making. Great fun.
@Northern_Ent, yea this was a learning process for me. First outdoor grow. Will be looking into some stuff. I do want to keep it as organic as possible. The bud rot on this plant came quick! Lost about 3/4 of the plant 😔
