So it's been a rough week. We have had lots of rain, no sunshine, and 30-50 degree weather. I had to pull it in to the garage a couple nights. On Tuesday I found 2 brown spots on two of the buds and after further investigation I found a couple worms in there. I went through the entire plant and found a total of 3 worms. I cut the affected buds off and hopefully won't have to deal with that again. I can see that things are growing and the buds are getting harder/fatter.
I think the nutrient lockout is behind me, the fungus has slowed WAY down, and I believe the worms are gone. I inspected those two buds after pulling the worms and they looked ugly (see attached pics) and I read that the worm droppings can cause bud rot so I didn't want to take any chances and cut them off.
I appreciate all the help from you guys and the archives in figuring out what was going on and what to do about it. I am going to continue to watch the leaf spots and yellowing, inspect for worms daily, and cool it on the frequent watering. Monday is day one of flower week 8 so I am hoping to harvest soon. I'll probably try to get some pics of the trichomes and post them this weekend to start monitoring the color/cloudiness. Any and all input is appreciated.
After hours of reading I plan to do some bud washing as well. I may keep a few out for comparison but I think this poor plant is a great candidate.
My main take away at this point is that outdoor growing is probably not for me, haha, at least not yet. Too many variables. I'll buy some lights and fans/filters before I stick another one in the dirt.
