Harvest has now been completed. During the final days before chop, a small amount of bud rot was detected on a couple of top colas, most likely triggered by a short period of elevated humidity combined with dense flower structure. The affected tops were removed immediately and discarded. Tools were cleaned and sanitized, airflow was increased, and humidity levels were corrected. No further spread was observed after these adjustments.
Only the very top buds were impacted. The remainder of the plant stayed healthy through harvest, showing no signs of internal spread, stem infection, or secondary symptoms. Trimming was completed without further issues, confirming that the problem was localized and caught early.
It’s also worth noting that during the first weeks of growth, light exposure was limited due to tent sharing and work schedule constraints. This resulted in slightly slower early development and influenced initial structure. Once full lighting was restored, growth normalized quickly and the plant compensated well, showing no lasting stress or deficiencies through mid and late flower.
From a cultivation standpoint, the run remained consistent from veg through late flower. Feeding progression was kept stable, nitrogen was tapered gradually, PK input was increased stepwise without shock, and magnesium and micronutrients were maintained in a controlled range. The plant responded well to the FERMAKOR schedule, producing dense, resin-rich flowers with good calyx development and a manageable leaf-to-calyx ratio.
Structurally, the canopy stayed even and training choices paid off in uniform development. Airflow was generally good throughout the run, and late-stage humidity control stands out as the main takeaway — dense tops will always be the first to signal when conditions drift, even in an otherwise dialed-in environment.
Trimming is now finished and drying is underway under controlled conditions. Final dry weight will be added once drying and initial cure are complete, along with a more thorough post-harvest evaluation covering flower density, terpene profile, ease of trim, and overall strain performance.
Overall, a strong and well-managed run with clear data, solid execution, and valuable lessons carried forward into the next cycle.
