Amnesia Haze and Lambs Bread Autos

Second time growing Amnesia Haze from CKS. The seed was germinated a year after opening the original package. I stored the seeds in my fridge veggie drawer wrapped up in a ziplock. All my seeds have germinated thus far 4/5, and I have one left. I germinated one last year, but i ended up not having enough time for 3 plants and it died :( my bad. I ended up with bud rot on a lot of my colas. The plant grew stout and fat. I do believe it was my fault the bud rot developed, but the structure that this plant ended up taking on also contributed to the conditions that caused bud rot. The first time I grew this plant i grew it without training. Im not sure if the LST and defoliation caused this plant to be stout. It wasn't like this the first time. Or if its just the genome of this particular seed I had. If I didn't get bud rot I would have ended up with a killer harvest. The plant did react very well to LST and defoliation though. It still grew a ton of bud. I never worried about it at all, I was so hyped to harvest such fat, beefy colas. Too bad I got bud rot.
