I'm in the same boat as you my friend...luckily, these past two days have brought me summer weather to dry out the buds...I too, have removed some rot here and there...just keep a weary eye out on em'

How far into flower are you might I ask?

We're in the outdoor growers' forum right? I had to check and make sure...I got a little confused...:bigjoint:

you got fucked like me lol.... This rain killed me. I came out this morning and half my plants had half of their lower branches resting on the ground... I was like !!!!!!!!!!. Had to spend all morning tieing them up. I would leave them in the ground til they dry out before you chop them down. You'd probably have more of a risk of mold hanging them when they are soaking wet. THe plant will naturally transpire a lot of the water off. and the heat of this time of year will dry up the rest in a couple days.

let me offer some friendly advice. I've been growing in the paradise for over 35 yrs. Of all those years,every single grow op was done outside! Let me tell you, "Bud Rot" is not your friend. Wit that in mind, you should kill it at every chance you get! You cannot control it no matter how much you try. "Cut it out", absolutely not! the shit spreads like wild fire. If you try to cut it out, then you will have Bud Rot spores everywhere!!!! Next day upon waking up, you'll have rot everywhere starting up! When I see it I throw the entire plant away, and at the very least,...the entire branch!

There is a product called 'Garden Dust' that works pretty good as far as bud rot goes.

Good luck,

Puna Bud

k i will post some pics,ill take em now but post later,
but i was very humbled by my friend whom i gave some greencrack x chemdawg seed too.
He planted these seeds in june i bellieve,and all four are over 8ft tall and massive!
This is his first time and i am very impressed,he just waters the 3 times a day which seems to be working fine.
I have had to cut some tops to eradicate tinty bits of mold,and things look nice just want to let everything finish up right! But this will be my first sucessfull od patch {rippers/mold grrrrr}
Cheers
