Bud Rot

I'm thinking it's pointless to grow outside in this damn Virginia humidity.
It’s been tough all over the NE. I have two outdoor autos going and have been cutting around one moldy nug or small branch a day due to rot. Finally brought it in last night (rain and flooding in my area right now) to keep it dry. Gonna do a premature chop today and he done with it. I think a lot of people are probably having a hard time rn. Interesting plant too, really wish I could see her through.

For real man. Fkn june was a bitch. Rained every day cold as hell. 50’s for a week here!! I put 4 week old autos out on june 4 and i’ve been dealing with bud rot for two weeks or more now. Lost half the plant on two plants, finally just chopped(early) what was left and put it in the freezer. Just gonna make hash. Guess you gotta start waiting til july to put plants outside now.

You ain't the only one.. I'm in Virginia as well, my huge auto in a 25g pot, I've been cutting off branches and flowers.. And it's supposed to be a highly resistant strain to mold, disease, etc... My 2 smaller ones seems to be ok for now. I think the big one was compromised because of something that chewed a hole in one stem on the big one and it crippled it's immune system.

I'm wondering if I should move the smaller plants away to avoid contamination from the big one

It probably wouldn’t hurt, but if it’s been near an active case of rot, chances are the spores are on them. Not only that the spores are always floating in the air. The best thing to do is make the conditions as inhospitable to mold as you can, I realize that it’s really tough on outdoor grows. Keep after the mold, remove it and an inch or so above and below it.

That's true. At this point I'm thinking of just bringing them inside and putting them in my tent to prevent losing these. I do have a deck awning so i can bring them out of the rain from now on.

The big one is probably gonna lose 50% of its yield..

If you have the tent option that would be your best option. That way you can better control heat/humidity.
