Please help! Should I harvest now if I’m seeing a couple mold spots?

Ive taken the chunks out and cleaned with apple cider vinegar. I’m worried it will spread if I don’t cut it now. It’s probably a week or so before the right time but should I take the risk? Why is it so damp in the buds and it has t been raining?! Is it caterpillar pee?!

Often in large buds that are tight it sets up conditions where the bud is transpiring but the moisture on the inside of the bud can't escape, which provides an environment for bud rot. It would be nice if you could wait, but it's up to you. As you know, rot spreads fast.

Budrot starts from the inside and buds that appear to be fine might already have started going bad. Gently give a pull to the sugarleaves sticking out buds that look healthy. They will come loose if the bud is infected.

Yeah here’s the pics I didn’t send. Probably gonna look worse than it is…should I just pull em? Will the mold continue to grow if I hang the whole plant? Do I need to cut em up smaller and use the drying racks?

I think I'd pull them, cut out all the bad spots, about an inch above and below the rot, as long as you've got some decent airflow in your drying area it shouldn't continue to rot, while I've never had them rot/mold once pulled, it can happen.

I just cut out the fuzzy stuff and anything close. Just lost 90% of my top cola when I peeled it back smh. Just a little piece at the top and the bottom left.

I'm outside and rain for the last week did me in. Lucky not to have lost more.

Entire grow has spots of mold. I’m just cutting it out and spraying vinegar when I spot em. Maybe you guys can help…SHOULD I JUST CUT IT ALL DOWN NOW AND MAKE HASH?! It’s wet in the mornings and it doesn’t look like it’s getting better. See pics so sad

Option1 - If you are in need and not so mindful of your health.
Cut it all. Check all buds really good. Especially where you see yellow leafs.

Option2 - If you don't really need it and care about your health.
Do yourself a favour and trow it all away. It is not healthy to smoke mould and it won't go away just because you make hash out of it.


I feel for you bro...

Yeah really sucks. Lots of money/time/blood/sweat. I don’t even think I can grow in my area outdoors. Maybe next year a greenhouse will help. Was looking at a 6-7 lb harvest now looking at a lot of clean up and sticky garbage.

A green house is a must in most climates.
Maybe try some Auto flowers instead and start them off as early as you can. If you are lucky you can get 2 harvest per season.
