Unfortunately, this run with the more advanced Appalachian Kush came to an earlier end than planned.
The bud rot continued to spread, so I decided that it was time to harvest her rather than risk losing even more of the plant.
It's definitely not the harvest I was hoping for, as I would have liked to give the flowers more time to develop.
I actually found this plant quite promising throughout the grow. The overall vigour, the fast development of the flowers and the terpene profile she was starting to develop all made me very curious about her final potential.
Unfortunately, we won't get to see that with this plant.
As planned, I harvested the flowers together with the sugar leaves and immediately froze the fresh material for processing at a later point.
One Appalachian Kush plant is still standing, though, and interestingly, she is showing quite different characteristics and a different flower structure.
So even though this particular plant had to be harvested early, the Appalachian Kush story isn't over yet. 👀🌱
Let's see what the remaining plant has in store for us. 🤞🏻💚
**Update**
Our next Appalachian Kush had to be harvested as well, as bud rot started spreading.
Part of the harvest is now drying in the tent, while the rest went straight into the freezer. ❄️🌿
