Virginia outdoor growers - straw poll - have you harvested?

[smaccio]

I'm curious who's still growing and who has harvested. I'm a rookie and didn't know what to expect, but have harvested one plant and have one still growing that looks like it'll have a week or two to go. I'm in central Virginia. What's yer status?

Started getting bud rot. So 2 down last week and the rest this week. Humidity over the last 2 weeks killed me. Same thing every year.

Brother I hear you there. I think having a regular household fan blowing on my little farm 24/7 saved me.

what longitude are you all over in Virginia?.....map shows about 32-38 degrees

we are at 37 degrees and have had a first frost so everything is down here except a few experiments

also , our elevation is about 4300

We're at 38 degrees north and much lower...600-800 feet right around here. Blue Ridge Mountains nearby go to 3000-4000, but overall we're temperate. Usually we would have had a frost by now, but not so far this year.

It is the 65% + humidity and rain showers/thunderstorms that kill us.

I would need a couple of industrial grade fans blowing and not sure if that would do. Air is still high humidity.

I had to use a leaf blower and big umbrella last yr to keep from getting bud Rot because of a week of rain .

I lost about 10% to rot this year, funny that little experiment plant (no feed at all) yielded 2 nice buds (cut this Morning Nice amber) and I never did anything to her .
No rot at all , and she was left in rain and high humidity the whole time.

They say every thing is two weeks late this year.
