I'm upstate ny. Had my share of bud rot, but almost none on 3 strains.
Purple punch
Pineapple express
Acapulco gold
One of my Bruce banners is really good too, but there's 2 phenos. Sativa leaning one I topped once, still 10' tall. No bud rot on that one. The other pheno is indica leaning, that one has been cut like a pennysaver.
I let them yellow a bit after the stretch before I feed them again. Like a lazy man's defoliation. They say bud rot is "successful growers disease". Grow those big nugs to toss them in the trash.
I put all of them in my outdoor fireplace thing. This weekend my small mountain town will be inundated with people for our famous town wide garage sale. I'm going to let the fire smolder as long as I can.
