harvest now. they aren't going to grow much in those conditions. but big chance of rot if you keep going. your plants look good for making it this far. harvest these plants now, and start earlier outdoors next season
The aphids will die and fall off as the plant dries. I also had some this season. Doesn't bother me
If you have plants indoors and you don't want to risk spreading then that is a realistic concern and you might want to keep them in the garage until dried.
Definitely chop. Why risk losing it all for a few more days? And its not like the finished product transforms into incredible smoke by lasting a few more days. And the plants won't grow much in poor weather. Every reason says chop now
Buds look good!
Chop. Your plants look great. Theyaren't going to grow much if the weather isn't good and the risk of rot makes me always vote to harvest.
Great grow! And dig the dog!
Right now I'm watering like you but wanting to change and wondering the same thing.
Have you checked out SIP containers? I haven't used them yet but sounds like watering is easier and less frequent--and with faster bud growth.
Appreciate all the advice. Decided to pull 2/3 of the crop today. I would rather harvest something in good shape than push it further and risk bud rot.
I am still curious, anyone know how much time between bud rot infection and the time the symptoms are visible?
Anyone else in Socal impacted by tonight's rain? With the rain and cool temps and high humidity the next few days, I'm leaning towards harvesting tomorrow before any bud rot takes hold.
Socal got smacked with a surprising rain storm. The forecast didn't even predict it, but it started raining at dusk and has been raining heavy for 6 hours straight. The next few days are supposed to have 50-90% humidity and temps around 50degrees at night and the mid 70's during the daytime.

There are two varieties of pm that tend to exhibit. The fuzzy stuff and this stuff that looks like dried milk droplets. Its not clear if you have pm. If you have sprayed anything it could be the residue from that. Its not humidity spots. If you haven't sprayed anything, it is likely pm. Good...
Awesome! You are a natural! Much better than my 2nd year! Next harvest you might want to consider Regalia/Southern Ag's Garden Friendly Fungicide as a preventative. My plants have been slammed with pm every year before this one. Its expensive but this year less than 20% few have minor spots of...
Also in the LA area. Congrats on your grow! Looks tasty!
It looks like most of the pm is on the lower growth. If it were me I would consider harvesting soon before it spreads to. those delicious colas. You can try spraying but at this point you likely won't kill the pm all the way.
