Well, the news was not all good. Notice the red line. Everything above the red line had the dreaded bud rot.
I should have known better, but I was waiting for the trichomes to cloud up. But the good news was, everything below that line was perfect.
Interesting footnote. I checked out some of the buds that had bud rot under my microscope. They were loaded with opaque and amber trichomes. Oh well, it happens.
