Hey buddy 馃尡 I went through your grow journal, and honestly, I don't think she's anywhere near ready to harvest yet. Most of the pistils are still white, and the calyxes haven't swollen up yet. She still has a lot of bulking and ripening left to do. I completely understand why you're worried after losing your last harvest to bud rot. But instead of shortening the plant's life, I'd try to change the environment. If rain is coming, consider putting up a temporary clear plastic cover or tarp to keep direct rain off the buds while leaving the sides open for airflow. Add a fan if possible to keep air moving constantly through the canopy, and don't hesitate to remove a few large fan leaves if they're trapping moisture around the buds. Also, if any of your plants are in movable pots rather than planted in the ground, I'd relocate them to a more sheltered spot with lower humidity until the rainy weather passes. Since you have that option, it's one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce the risk of bud rot without sacrificing the harvest. Harvesting now would be like taking a cake out of the oven halfway through baking because you're afraid it might burn. You avoid one problem, but you never get the result you were aiming for. If you can manage the humidity and keep good airflow for the next few weeks, I think you'll be rewarded with a much better harvest. Good luck鈥擨 hope this one finishes healthy and bud-rot free! 馃尶 By the way, I recently completed a breeding project and created a new cross that I named OG Cream. I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out. 馃懡馃檹馃敟 I'm currently testing this new cross, and I'm really excited to see how it turns out!

Too early. it'd be a waste of effort and time invested. If it's too wet, either grow autoflowers out of season, or take it indoors and invest in proper dehumidification. trying to force a square peg through a round hole won't end well (L=D).

I know how painful it is to lose an entire harvest to budrot but that plant is nowhere near finished. The buds are still forming, the pistils are almost entirely white, and the calyxes haven't swollen up at all yet. If you cut it now, you'll lose a huge amount of potential yield and potency. I understand your concern about the rain and bud rot, but the best approach is to fight the environment, not the plant. Instead of harvesting prematurely, focus on: Increasing airflow: Get some fans in there to keep the air moving 24/7. Reducing humidity: If you can, use a dehumidifier or improve the passive/active ventilation of your greenhouse. Inspection: Check the buds daily for any signs of rot and remove affected areas immediately if you see anything. Let her finish, she still has a lot of work to do
