June 26, day 98, the Euforia is in it's final ripening phase, and will be harvested soon! I am dialing down the EC, although I do not do any major pre harvest flushes. June 28, day 100, emergency harvest time! I was going to push it another 3-5 days, but when I was examining my fattest cola I noticed the physical manifestation of my nightmares: early stage bud rot. I should have harvested days ago in hindsight, as days of rain pushed my RH up into the mid-high 60s. I only noticed it because I was bending bud tissue away from the stem, but there was clearly some white fluffy buildup around the base of a dead leaf stem. The good news is that I caught it very early, no bud tissue has died anywhere on the plant and what mold I could find was still white and fluffy. I had to immediately cut down the whole plant as a result. I cut away bud material around the few moldy spots, and put the rest of the buds from those colas into my pile for edibles/oils. 95 percent of the colas seem totally unaffected. Nevertheless, I have had to totally switch up my dry/cure technique by doing a wet trim of the large buds and a quick dry/cure to start to make sure no spores can spread elsewhere. My priority is really saving what has been accomplished so far. The good news is that early wet weights are very heavy, even with the bit of bud removal. 600g wet for the top colas, another 350g wet for the mid grade buds, and finally 1000g for the low grade buds left of stems for slower drying. This means I will hopefully end up with 200g+ dry bud for vaping and smoking, and much more for edibles, rosin, etc. I will have more details next week with the full harvest update!
