Mind telling me your budrot procedure when it's discovered? Just curious on when to lop the entire branch or when to do surgery.

If I find real budrot I usually cut the whole bud off then spary the surrounding area with peroxide. I very gently pull the buds away just to peak inside by the stem. Thats where it usually starts. When I find worm damage ill clean it out and usually leave it. Also hit it with peroxide. From now till the end its an evrey day inspection to stay on top of problems.

Exactly what I do. It’s a marathon now. Inspect/ surgically cut-out + spray H2O2/ Spray preventative/ Repeat.
It’s about finding and treating the small areas of rot so they don’t metastasize to the rest of your plant.
Outdoors is Tortoise, not the Hare! But maaaaannn, the rewards for the hard work are so satisfying to me.

I agree 100% it is so satisfying at the end. Man it is alot of work but you get out what you put in. Every year is a new challenge it never gets old for me

Yes, looks like 4-5 days of rain coming. I'm seeing the usual (beginning) small areas of rot. As the Masters do, remove the bud, spray with peroxide, check constantly.
The most beautiful bud I ever grew as a single cola was so amazing! Two feet of softball bat girth. Near harvest I thought I saw something a little odd, I poked it gently with my finger and
SPLOOSH, Sunk in to my knuckle, entire bud was rotten from the inside, heartbreaker.
Always I inspect the buds interior, this prodding and poking also allows air to get into areas it normally wouldn't.
Have a Blessed Harvest Moon today! May your crop stay healthy.

What never was yet will always be, cant be heard nor can it be seen.

Do they make 15 footers? Lol. I suppose a stack if cinderblocks could raise it up a few feet...

Ok so my daily dilemna, yeah, I wanna trim shade leaves, however, at this juncture, as we all know, cant really afford to waste a minute.
So, fine Grower Homies...
Q: trim shade leaves and risk the slower lethargic growth at this stage?
Or let em go and trim heavy at very end?

I’ve been pulling anything 50%+ yellow for sure (mostly from the bottom) selective, bigger (~hand size) internal bud covering fan leaves, green or otherwise lol but to a much lesser extent. I’ve become really conscious of the air circulation inside given the bad things I’m learning can happen during an outdoor grow when things stay to wet.
That’s pretty much my game plan too. So far only the one cross plant with a dense leaf structure has had any rot, which I’ve found in around 10 small spots over the past ten days. So she’s my problem child that requires daily detailed inspection by using a chopstick to bend every single fucking bud back from branches to look for trouble. I also cleared out some yellowing and soon to yellow leaves yesterday and opened up more airflow.
So far the airy structure of the big Tirah hashplants has held up against this threat, although they are at least three weeks behind the cross (and one might be up to six weeks behind, I guess I’ll get to experience most if not all of November trying to keep that one going). They do have purty flowers though -
