Hi

As the title says I have 1 week of slow drenching rain coming up. I have 4 plants covered with a floating/flat tarp, ie not "boxing them in", so there is some airflow, but regardless it is 70% humidity out there and the rain has only just started.

A little rot in a couple of buds already last week (chopped whole branch any rot came from and was only in tips).

But I'm 2 weeks from harvest.

I do *not* care about higher yield. If the effects will be the same now as in 2 weeks from now I will definitely harvest now.

I would really appreciate any advice, I'm currently going back and forward in my head debating whether or not to let them keep growing but just monitor rot...

I was in this situation last summer, in hoophouse. Did a partial harvest to save at least something and left the rest. Buds harvested later taste and look better, but i don´t see any difference in high. Bud rot wasn´t that bad at the end, but you have to look carefully, I´m using microscope to avoid smoking mouldy stuff. I would probably do this again.

ooh I didn't think of partial harvesting! good experiment to see how the rest holds up under these conditions too, can always pull the rest it starts to get bad... thanks for the idea!
