Macintosh meds was a great strain to grow. I had no pest issues and the nugs came out very large and dense. My only concern is that the leaves turned yellow pretty early in flower, and this was a very tall plant almost maxing out my tent.
The yellow leaves could have been for reason I caused like root bound, but for that reason I am taking off two stars. I will definitely be growing it again as I have more seeds depending on how well I like the smoke.
Macintosh meds turned out great at harvest. Very strong almost apple smell. Buds turned out extremely dense and large and very frosty. I am looking forward after a 6 day dry and 30 day cure to try out the final smoke.
My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early?
I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!
As someone who has been experiencing a LOT of bud rot this humid summer, I can tell you I don't see any signs that you've got it... the rusty leaves would actually be DEAD leaves, not just discolored, if it WAS bud rot - and if you don't see or feel or smell anything out of the ordinary, I think you're in the clear and can breathe a sigh of relief.
Just make sure you have really GOOD airflow through your plants (which are stunning, btw).
Good luck!
