Just found budrot; should I harvest 'em?

Make sure the structure is strong enough to withstand wind, and covers the plant but does not trap moisture inside. It's a delicate balance between covering them and keeping air flow. A "cover" will keep rain off, but will do nothing to "keep out" humidity, at least not here in the NW. If you go full cover/greenhouse (i.e. cover from the ground up) be sure to have fans running in there. Just evaporation coming up off the wet ground is enough to support mold, and putting up a structure this late in the season will be built on a damp ground.
Good points. A "floor" made from plastic or tarp could help.

I'd keep a close eye on them and push em a little longer.
Yesterday, I had to begin cropping, my cola tops were beginning to get bud rot on one of my plants... I had to cut out bud rot and remove all the nugs off stem and I put in drying rack with a fan... I hope I got it all..I'm glad I checked, it happened over night it seems...

Sometimes that shit gets out of hand in just a matter of hours...I lost pounds to that shit this year.

I am going to try and tough it out with my cover and misted the plant with this...

I have already harvested two plants with plenty yield... this one, Agent Orange is straggling!

crossing fingers hoping it lasts !

I'm letting my pineapple kush ride it out without any help. I'm hoping the wind will knock off the excess water. We shall see.

How far along is your Kush? I really like my Agent Orange and really want to see it make it to harvest...I will do everything I can to see that happen! Well within reason! The wind is going blow hard here tonight and tomorrow! I even tied my cover down to my shed!

Good luck with that Backyard dirt!

Cheers

The Pineapple Kush will probably need another 2 weeks at least. I could have covered it with a painter's dropcloth supported by sticks but I figured the wind whipping that around may have be worse than the rain. The plant is healthy and budworms have been minimal so who knows? I harvested the A grade colas from my Pennywise yesterday and have left the B grade and popcorn to see if I can get a little amber color in the trichomes. At least in Ashland the storms are supposed to be separated by semi clearing periods which might save the day.

I'm in the High Desert, and only get bud rot from caterpillars, never from the weather.

Butttttt, from a little bit of experience with the nasty rot.... Depending on how much and how bad it is would dictate rather or not I would let her go or chop.

Not sure if many people have heard of this method, but thought I'd post it, why not lol..

Idk on how reliable the method is, I've used it in the past, and it seemed to work, but I've never really tested it.

Those germicidal bulbs can be used to kill mold spores supposively, from what I read about it you just run the light over wherever for 5 seconds at most and it's supposed to work.

If you plan to try it out, look up a guide on how to do it right because from what I remember it works by separating the DNA or some weird shit and can actually fuck up your cannabis if you don't do it right.
