Had to pull my 3 beautiful 7ft Chocolope plants due to mold setting in. Trimmed off some of it last week but due to the rain that we have had for a solid week, there was that much or more this week. How much do you think it will hurt the potency pulling it this early?
im getting worried about mold/bud rot as well. i found a little bit when i first visited and plucked it off, but now it's going to be warm and rain for the next week. how fast did yours spread? in your opinion worth it just to cut them now or try and hold out till the sun comes out again? as for potency I think it'll still be plenty potent but a different tasting and maybe more sativa high. just make sure to dry and cure properly and the weed will still be plenty dope.
It depends where in the flowering cycle it was. Did any of the buds glisten or sparkle when in the light? Obviously the stalks come before the actual glandular heads, and in a lot of cases people will mistake these for trichomes.. which haven't even formed yet. It will definitely hurt potency, but to say how much is almost impossible without actually smoking it.
Trapper McNut my mold spread pretty quick thats why i pulled it so early. I hated to but didnt want to lose it all! Im gonna dry it and see just how potent it really is. The buds had developed well and had alot of red and dark hairs. Im expecting it to be a heady high being so early
Yeah it probably won't smell or taste the best when you first dry it and smoke it.. but if you cured it for a couples months (if you can wait that long ), I bet it would smell/taste/smoke ten times better.
