50/50 What To Do?

Rain and damp has stepped up in New England and its time for a critical decision. Colas are fat and looking good, but still maybe ten days out. However, recent rains have started bud rot, and with two days of sun n clouds mixed followed by more rain, the only thing coming is more rot.
So, CRITICAL QUESTION: DO I CHOP TEN DAYS EARLY, OR RISK LOSING 50% OR MORE OF MY CROP?
Taking all advice and suggestions.

One thought, is to take the most advanced colas, cut them let the smaller ones ride it out. But there is no doubt, rot is happening and coming.
What to do, what to do....

PLEASE HELP

Build your babies some shelter and find a way to get the excess water out. Chop all forming rot and hope for the best. Not sure how you can pinpoint how many days are left, but I would take some immediate action.

allways battle it out to the end. just try keeping up with the trimming out of rot, the end result of a fully matured plant is more then worth the effort. may the weather be on your side

Is this AK? Looks like it. Needs way more time. You have milk/keefir/h202? I think h2o2 for me is like treatment after the fact but the milk treatment is preventative. Give her an ionized spray and I reckon you can finish them out. Cut of the rot and spray the areas with h2o2 that were affected then do a preventative spray a couple tablespoons of keefir with the AB bacterias to a couple liters.

question about the leaf blower statement, if its rain pretty continuously, when should I blow the plant to keep it dry to avoid bud rot?

If it's all the time rain then there isnt much you can do. If it stops for even an hour tho.... then that is your window. I usually grab the stalk and vigorously shake the plant first. Then I take the leaf blower and spend a good amount of time on each plant.
I then spray with a bacterial fungicide then use the leaf blower again but from a further distance to help dry the fungicide but not push it off.

Tho I've learned through the yrs of growing... some strains are just not mold resistant and sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, it will just happen.

Well darlin the bad part is ...looks like you still have while to go on that. If you can afford a leaf blower I would invest in one. Just constantly be blowing them off and shaking the shit out of the plant. Fight the good fight til you absolutely have to take them down.

That is not my medicine, but I will post some pics later

OK These are all pics of different plants, do ANY look like they could be close? Most are fist sized colas, but a lot of the tops are more 1 and 2 litre coke bottle sized. The sun is out now, but theres no wind to speak of...

DOUBLE CLICK THESE BABIES and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Hope I can squeak one more week out of them...


PLEASE ADVISE, I realize I have a couple weeks left any ways, but the rain and rot is just gonna keep coming. Should i sprat with h2o2 where I remove the rot? Or just remove it carefully and thoroughly???DSCN2099.JPGDSCN2100.JPGDSCN2101.JPGDSCN2102.JPGDSCN2103.JPGDSCN2104.JPGDSCN2105.JPGDSCN2106.JPG

Wow, I will say that those are some of the best pics Ive taken, when blown up you can see the trikes pretty good, still looks kinda glassy, the purple looks cool, one thing I noticed is while the purple looks dank, its not nearly as dense as the other buds I have, doesnt have the weight on it yet, but its got the stick, thats for sure!!

This late in the game I would not make no rain shelter if I had bud rott already, you'll just spread the rott to 99% of your buds. People are telling you not to cut but you need to do some quick research and make a decision. If you have visible bud rott then you most likely have loads of bud rott you cannot see tight inside your flowers. Bud rott can wipe and entire garden in a matter of days. Google it and make a decision on your own and not on the advice of us here. It's your year that could end up being shit on the line not ours. Only saying this because I see a lot of don't chip just snip the rott. IF ONLY IT WERE THAT EASY
