And just like that, everything changes......

About 10 am, we got some 60 mph winds and over an inch of rain in an hour, and about 40% of the branches on my biggest plant were broken and on the ground. Could have used at least a couple more weeks (only a trace of amber), so had to emergency harvest. Hope it's of decent quality. We'll soon see.

Nice harvest!

That sucks to have a new schedule forced on you. With that said, if you had some ambers appearing you should have a decent product. Maybe not quite as much couchlock but if that isn’t important to you then I bet it will be just fine. I have a couple of tree size plants out back and after seeing the wind seriously bending them a couple weeks ago I stabilized them with rope. Now all I have to worry about is the bunch of rainy days we are going to have next week! It might be that I should soon consider harvesting as well to avoid the inevitable bud rot this late in the season.

it is a nice harvest and should be fine, you lucked out compared to the people on here that had bud rot

Well that's a bummer but hopefully the cure will help just might have to smoke 3 bowls LOL how awful.....good haul anyway.

Took the small leaf blower and, from a distance, was able to eliminate quite a bit of moisture from the buds from my in-ground plants that got pretty wet this morning. Chance for rain again late Friday, so the cooler temps and higher humidity always bring potential bud rot into play. Have a small indica clone that is ready now, so more trimming tomorrow. Good growing to all!

Wow only 60, 70 here, leaves falling sideways heavy rain for only a few minutes, followed by a gentle rain for several hours. As soon as the heavy rain moved out the temps dropped into the 60's. May 1/2 -3/4 of an inch is all I got, it was needed, I was under extreme drought.
