Those of us in Oregon, last year it rained at this time and ruined most of my medical crop. I'm about 1-2 weeks away from harvest, and worried about the rain in the forecast for the next 3-4 days.

Should I chop now?? Opinions?

looks like you got a bit to go...Id just hit em with some fungicide or baking soda/water after every rain. Last year bud rot got me in about 12 hrs from 2 wk constant rains my last 2 wks till harvest. Never again...it can rain all it wants now, as long as I have that on hand IM good.

So with the baking soda methods, do you spray it on the buds or feed them it? Lol

Saturate the bud with it. Spray in between buds.

• Mix half a pound of baking soda with 1 gallon of water

This is like stage 2-3 or bud rot. You can bend the bud over and look in between them and see a dingyness. It hits the calyxes first most of the time, so its easy to spot (the calxes next to the stem). Once it gets to this stage it will devastate a plant in 12 hrs

So should we spray every day while it is raining or just wait out the days of rain and treat.
cutting the rot as you see it?

Spray after every rain, no rain treat every 5 days if the humidity is high and the temps cool(which is pretty much every night now). Buds are plumping/packing and getting all juicy, its best to treat anyways just so you dont loose your precious.
