The end of the season is upon me. The weather is projected to be hot for the next two days, then the rains start and the temps drop. The next week is projected to be highs in the 50's and 60's, lows in the mid to low 40's, with at least showers every day.
My white widows really need another couple of weeks to be perfect. However, this weather is a recipe for bud rot; I already had to chop one top due to mold. I am concerned that if I wait, I'll get widespread bud rot and mold. The plants are so big that it's not practical to cover them.
My question to the group is, would you take the risk and let them grow for another week and risk the rot, or would you take them out before the rains start? The buds are well developed, and getting sizable, but they obviously could go two to even three weeks longer. This is a personal use grow, I will have plenty of weed if I chop now, and we like the uppier high that an early chop will produce. But will I lose too much strength?
The good news are that the AK 48's are ready, and we'll take them down this weekend.
Thanks for your thoughts.
