Sounds like where I grew up (midwest).
If you're doing a stealth grow, you've gotta find a new spot because they always come back for more.

I had some fucktard jump my fence last year and hack on my last small plant I had going.Sorry for your loss.
When growing outside, it helps to have multiple layers of security. Motion lights, cameras, dogs, etc.
My grow is legal so I'd probably just call 911 and let the police handle it.
Called the cops got a phone call 4 hours later. They were to fucking nonchalant about it, what a joke that was.

No, they weren't ready. 1 of them was the Copper Chem, I put a pic of on here last week and a couple AK 47's.The CC was far enough along. They didn't get my LVTK thank God.
I fell asleep in the chair with my front door open. Someone must have been watching me while they got them.

You know, it just pisses a person off when someone takes something from you that you invest in and work so hard for. I am mounting surveilence cameras now.

Sorry to hear about the rippers man. They are always the biggest concern when growing. Legal or not. Was the main reason I always kept multiple outdoor plots. I would count on 2 of 5 being stolen. Was nice the times they weren't.
They are making some great and affordable cameras for outdoor use nowadays. If people do not know the cameras are there they tend to not cover their faces and you can get some pretty clear shots even in the dark.
I feel your pain. I fucking hate thieves and liars. Both get shown no mercy. If the plant left behind is in the same spot I would try to use it as bait for the cocksuckers.
Cheers

This is the 1st time I have been ripped off in 8 years. But I will survive this. But I am sure gonna miss trying that CC. It was piling on the frost.Sorry to hear about the rippers man.

I doubt if rippers know how to dry & cure properly, so it'll be harsh smoke.

Same here. First it was opiates. My state is/was ground zero for opiate abuse. If you know what state it is. Please dont post it. But its switched to meth. It's horrible here. We have a program through courts here called community corrections. Kinda like probation. Except you check in 5 days a week. Drug tested at random. Last year there was 1971 drug tests popped positive for meth. Theres only 634 people on the program in the two counties.

I live in that state too. lol I live in the southeastern part of the state.I believe they started testing the opiates in 1996. There was a documentary on it on tv quite a few years ago. Then about 2004, they started cutting people off of the pain pills. Funny, we went into Afghanistan in 2003 or 2004 . Pat Tillman was killed for telling that the soldiers were guarding the opium fields. Before we went in, the taliban was destroying the poppy fields. All this followed the gas pipeline from the caspian sea to India. Goes back to Enron and 9/11.

Never know what subjects are gonna be talked about on the "GPS" thread. lol I just want to say, you all are great and I consider you all my friends. I'm not big on social media, but I do like coming to RIU.

So sorry to hear! F'n bastards!
I also lost a plant this morning--not to thieves but bud rot! Had a HUGE Cookie Wreck outdoors and the top colas are getting as big as my thigh--but this morning noticed a bunch of new brown leaves popping out from the biggest colas. Bent the colas open and saw the fuzzy fuckin rot!
Sucks. First time this has happened. Think I've lost over a pound!
Any advice on how to handle bud rot? Should I chop the infected parts and let the rest finish for another few days?

Chop well below the affected area, do not get mold on your knife, or wipe with iso each time.So sorry to hear! F'n bastards!

Start pulling leaves and open that plant up, you are going to need more air flow,
If there’s dew in the morning , shake it off

You can try, but my experience, the spores are already infected more than you can see and it will rot when the humidity rises. I have had almost 30 days of rain, then ir turned 90 degrees yesterday and today and then start raining again. Worst year for me in a long while. What I do is pull up "gently" and "twist" the buds in the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise") they are growing which opens the buds up to help prevent it from happening. Once you have rot, it's best to strip way beyond the infected area and open the plant up as "BigHorn" said.. But I have found "GPS" gear is a lot more easy to snap the branches when trying to open the branches up. Best to spray water on stems and let them sit for a bit to make the stems more pliable and they bend a little easier. Kinda like "steaming" a pc of wood to make it bend( for all you "wood workers" out there). lolSo sorry to hear! F'n bastards!

Edit) Sorry I keep editing but I keep thinking of more info.
Note: By "twisting" the buds that way, they will get freaking huge! Give it a try on a few buds and see for yourself. I try to use the fan leaves to twist too so I'm not in contact with the actual bud. I will snap a few fans but overall, it is worth the risk.

Thanks Big Horn. Wish my buds looked like yours!
If the rot is in the middle of a 10x4-inch cola, should I toss the entire thing or try to save some bud around the rot?

I am not at liberty to discuss that here.
A simple Google will net productive results.

Had to lop off one the other day, dried what was left, what at first didn't look like any at all, under the scope, its all over the plant, had to toss her, was a dense one for sure, Ive already added a fan in the tent, but I get good airflow now, mine is a humidity fluctuation prob. Anyhow, I agree with ya, under a scope when dried, it'll show up. Especially the underneath sides. Whole plant should go, imho

Don’t try to save much, as posted the spores could be on other parts of the plant.
Play it safe.
If water n humidity are going to continue to be a problem, cutting it could be a better option.
But if good weather ahead, I’d cut a good few inches below the rot , and open it up for more air flow,
If you have other CW growing I would clean them up too, n inspect it close .
