Had a sudden bud rot issue so I harvested SUPER early. Please tell me that there is still hope for what I've grown.

Well that sucks. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is really anything to harvest and what does exist looks very premature.

Oh yeah I'm tossing everything that looks like that for sure. The rest is probably a week or 2 shy of being ready. :/

Sorry to hear, I would be pissed and depressed too. You have to chalk it up to experience. My first harvest was horrible but I learned alot from that whole experience and now working on my second grow with way less mistakes. Don't give up next time will be better.

If you're in a legal state then head on down to a dispensary and get something to smoke. Better than nothing. You can also try growing indoors over the winter in the meantime.

Good luck.

I am trying to salvage anything I can, even if it just will work as a good filler. And my fingers are sticky af so let's hope that it means I'll have something remotely decent for the winter... lol

Thanks for the good vibes, everyone. I definitely am bummed. How do I prevent this in the future? I was spraying weekly with BT. The rain in my area has been HEAVY (tropical storms) and muggy... is that what did my white widow in?

Exercise is very good for mental health.

Clip it off below the dead material. Look for mold or caterpillars.

Mix a fungicide w your bt sprays. It helps alot but nothing's fool proof outdoors imo

Yeah high humidity especially with high temperatures is what does it.

I’ve seen people in the pnw that have giant fans on their outdoor plants because of that.

Sorry for your loss. She was a good plant that did nothing to anybody. She will be missed.

Gawd I hate those little white butterflies. Use mesh netting over the plant next time?

I always hate finding bud tops laying on the ground.

Get some chickens. They have helped with the caterpillars. Hummingbird feeders, hummingbirds love white flies and bats use the feeders at night.

At least she left you a few treats to remember her by.
