Cool and foggy/rain ( on the N.Ca. coast) then this hot weather. Suddenly bud rot in my blue dream and uk cheese even though they were covered. I'm cutting it out of the colas as i harvest as fast as i can. Wondering if there is a safe use for the cleaned-up buds. Maybe an infusion made with alcohol for an arthritis topical to be applied externally? Ok to smoke?

dont smoke mold or moldly parts
Right! I'm cutting out all the contaminated moldy bits. So I hope clean-up buds will be usable for smoke. Some buds are impossible to completely clean up. I'm wondering if they could be used for anything. For instance some sort of topical.

same shitty weather down in southern cali too... my buddies outdoor plants went through the same shit and yesterday started showing bud rot. upon further examination it turned out to be catepillars and not bud rot. open up that rotted bud and look for black or brown poo spots then follow the trail if you see any and get them bastards. its the season for worms right now too.

No worms so far. I'm wondering if the rot will stop with drying vs staying up and outside. Right now I'm cutting down buds with any rot , hanging and removing after drying a little , trying to remove rot while wet is a gooey sticky mess. Also going over
un harvested
plants and cutting out anything
looking
like rot.

what color is the rot? if it is gray you need to remove at least 1/2 inch around the rotted part. that means the good bud around the rotted bud too. gray rot is an indication of mold.

ask youself do you eat molded bread? If the answer is no then why would you smoke something with mold? cut it all away and move on. Put up a better fight next year. Also the catepillars are what give the buds the rot.dirrtyd
