Damn looking good! Any spider mites that are still alive when u hang to dry will bunch up at the top of them stem and u can easily wipe them off I harvested my blue dream and found some like 5 days after I had them hanging. Didn't see any on the buds at all. The problem I'm having right now is my 2 girl scout cookies are having bud rot and catapillars badly I'm prob going to lose most of both plants. I went out and bought some actinovate today and am gonna spray them and soil drench. Hopefully I can stop the bud rot from spreading. It's so shitty seeing ur biggest best colas biting the dust.
The Cannabis Encyclopedia by Jorge Cervantes (c)2015, says...
"Sprays of calcium silicate (Ca-silicate, 2,000 ppm, a sealant for concrete and egg shells), (California) calcium bentonite (Ca-bentonite), and calcium formate (Ca-formate, 2,000ppm) provide effective control of fungi and are safe alternatives to highly toxic fungicides. Potassium bicarbonate, baking soda, changes the pH of the surface of the foliage it contacts. Botrytis cannot grow there."
It also says to use alcohol sterilized scissors to make the cuts. I don't know how effective this is when Cervantes, is shown in a picture on the same page ashing a bud on a plant with a torch. LOL. I hope this can help. If anyone want's to weigh in on this answer, I am always up for learning more so I can fight it if it ever comes for my plants, and it does show up where I live, often.

ROFLYou've done your homework. Harvest with confidence, you got this. Warning, post harvest depression is real, support groups just wanna smoke your buds, lol. Keep us posted.

I heard we get black back in a month or so.I am not a fan of this new forum layout. I guess it's alright on the computer but it's absolute sh*t for my mobile phone. Got rid of that annoying chat head that kept sending me to an advert every other sentence and replaced it with scroll buttons that keep sending me to the top or bottom of the page all the time as I proof, edit, or try to start a sentence where they hang over. They'd do much better on the left or somewhere they are not hanging over the dialog box. ...and, my awesome black background is gone. This white is too blinding. It's not going to chase me off or anything, I just had to gripe. Now I'm done.
Sure you get a little bummed cutting it down, but you get happy when you see it in the jar! I stuck my urkle in jars today. (just the larfy stuff and medium buds. The big buds are still drying) It smells killer already. The little jar on the right is the bubba larf.Lookin awesome! I feel you on the postpatrum, sad my first grow is coming to an end was well, should be doing some choppping this weekend too. Interested in you thoughts on the wash process, likely going that route with mine as well.

I do 3 buckets. 1 bucket of warm water with baking soda and lemon juice. Next bucket is cold water. 3rd is RO water. Then I blow fans right on the buds for 8 hours.Thank you and sorry to hear that. Maybe you should do a bud wash with very dilute peroxide. I'm going to do it so I don't get any mold or mildew. Check out Cervantes' video on bud washing.
...though I wouldn't firehose them like that. But it has been proven to help against bud rot after the bad spots are removed with little or no damage to the trichs.
