What the hell happened to this bud

So you removed and pulled buds apart and inspected? To me at first just looked like dead leaves, however an overwhelming amount of people called out bud rot. So was just wondering your findings.
Yeah one was pretty bad all brown inside with little bit of white spores I guess the other I got real early just started to go brown

OP …. yes as far as remove and destroy . Botryis / blight as some call it is bad. Disinfect / clean scissors and area.
Spreads fast and makes bud non consumable.
Check all flowers. Destroy ANY that may show any grey , webby , brown , mushy or funky smell shit.


Clean out entire grow area once plants are cleared. I would scrutinize your air exchange setups and Rh ( on and off ).
Side note : I would include Decon of fan tubing and assorted gear. Spores no bueno.

Would you pull the whole plant early so it can't spread I have 2 other healthy plants in there

No … monitor those . However , clip prune infected , watch overwatering / humidity conditions, air flow .
Botryis thrives in moist environments and can also lay dormant on top soil ( spores ) . Pull plant if possible to look it completely over.
It can travel plant to plant easily tho via air currents.

Unfortunately this far into bloom , products like daconil or similar may not be a good idea at this stage of growth.
Think PM when doing final cleanup , pull drip pans , Decon containers ( if reusing ) , etc.

You could do some hash with remaining buds if not bad.

Never made hash unfortunately I am looking into buying a rosin press but can't afford atm the only reason I mentioned pulling whole plant is I was worried about exactly what you mentioned it travelling to the other plants

Growing can be trial and error at times … learn from what happened and perhaps the root cause. This way you can dial in the environment for best results.

Think I need some more dehumidifiers and another clip on got a bigger tent for next grow and a net I live in UK the humidity outside as I'm talking to you is 89% and no it's not raining lol
Pretty damn high for flower. What size is your extraction fan ? I tend to go big 8” or so. Inlet is passive but have high negative pressure ( when closed ) - ( zipped front pulls inward )

You can also test environment without plants to monitor rh ( especially when dehumidifiers are set up ) then you can tweak it before starting new plants.

I have a 1metre tent and a 5 inch fan around 350cfm it's a pretty good one it's black orchid silent

YES you must have a dehumidifier. Frankly right now I'd want one running and I'd try to drop my humidity into the 30's, or lower, to finish this. You could wick the moisture out of the buds to some extent with fans and a dehumidifier. I'd also drop the temp a bit.

Best of luck in finishing this. Listen to Budzbuddha he knows his stuff.
