Well mine started coming down 2 weeks ago. Now I'm down to some lower buds on the Acapulco Gold. Coming down tonight. Even though the monsoons are finally over the dew is still heavy every night and the smoke is returning. Good patch of stem mold mid way up the plant but only one little bud with bud mold. So this strain does have decent mold resistance.
All my left over stalks from the other plants are covered in stem mold. It was biblical rains.

Well that's it, I'm done for the season. I thought last year was the worst summer I had ever seen in 35 years in my area but this summer stomped it for shit weather.
All in all it looks good, some really nice smells and decent yields. Buds were smaller than they could have been, but plenty of them. Blue Dream and Acapulco Gold would have liked another couple weeks of sunny weather but that's outdoors!
I cut big branches and hang them strictly with lots of fans and a dehumidifier, no heat. Temp sort of hangs around 15c. So three to four weeks drying now before I nug them down from the stalks and give a light trim.
I am down to the dregs of last year's harvest so I nugged down some of the Blueberry x C99 that has been hanging for 2 weeks. Been drying out now, smoke able but needs a few more days for the flavors to come out. Yield looks good as I barely dented the pile and it weighed out to a QP. Should be a pound and a half of that plant alone. Not bad for a shitty year.

This is my male plants, back row left to right is Strawberry Banana bagseed, Thai Dye bagseed, 2 Eswatini bagseed, South African hermaphrodite, Blueberry, Orange, Tomato, Purple auto, Ginger Diesel auto. 2nd row on the left side is the strongest weed in the universe crossed with Eswatini bagseed and Haze bagseed bagseed, then over on the right is autoflowering White Widow Big Bud x Orange and another Ginger Diesel auto. The dead one at left is Ginger, that was my earliest regular flowering male this year, he died about 10 days ago or so.
Heres a closer look at Strawberry Banana bagseed & Thai Dye bagseed. I take my dudes indoors to collect pollen where the breeze is more under control and then I remove the flowers before I put them back outside. Strawberry Banana bagseed is gonna have to get plucked again soon.
Last summer I grew out some seeds that were at the bottom of a kilo of whatever the folks in Eswatini were growing to sell to people who wanted to get high, probably a bunch of Arjan's genetics. There was only one male in the 8 seeds I flowered out last summer so the breeding selection was a no brainer, these two are the sons of that one male from last summer.
I have to mist the South African hermaphrodite pretty regularly to prevent it from spreading it's pollen too much. There isn't any good reason why I haven't killed this thing yet, its a burden and keeping it alive can only have negative consequences, yet here it is.

Here's a Wild Super 07 that was in the back row on a spot with some bigger plants that were harvested earlier. Only grew to have two tops after some animal topped it early in the season, then grew in the shade of her bigger sisters, so zero side-branching.
I was not even gonna go visit this spot after the main portion was harvested, but I flipped a coin and went anyways.. Here's what was left

..and it's only now that they start to get fatter in the buds.. I will have to harvest them with a scythe, pick them up in sacks, and weigh them with the Roman weight scale from weighing the watermelons...

Thanks, axle2u. The spiders have been talking to me all year. In July I was checking my Zucchini, Squash and Pumpkins when I saw some type of veggie eating beetle. I reached for it to pull it off the plant, but, as soon as I moved my hand, a spider that was hidden under a leaf a couple inches from the beetle quickly descended and went back up again. I stepped away from the garden and quietly realized - the spider was saying, "chill, I've got this!" So, I left the beetle there and the others I saw here and there in the garden.
Same thing happened with the Alien OGs - I was busy pulling caterpillars off and crushing them on the ground when I saw the spider under the window sill drop down and quickly go back up again. I noticed there was a caterpillar in its web. So, now that's where I put the ones I pull off the plant in front of it.
Hell, I even left the aphids in the veggie garden after the spider and beetle incident! The aphids ended up migrating to male flowers that were really doing nothing but look nice and swarmed the pollen in the center of the flower - very little vegetative damage was done by them - they just went for the pollen. Also, their numbers stayed under control because the yellow jackets could be seen eating one or two aphids as they went in for pollen.
So basically my pest strategy in the veggie garden this year has been to feed them well. I even put bird feeders right next to my raised beds. They went for seed I put in the feeders and left my veggies and fruit trees completely undamaged! The veggie garden's ecosystem pretty much took care of itself this year as far as damaging pests are concerned. It was a big lesson for me.
Here's a yellow jacket coming out of a squash flower after collecting some pollen and eating a few aphids:
