Should I remove the bud ?

Pull on some of the small little bud leaves. Those little single leaves sticking out of the buds.
If they pull out easily then yes it’s bud rot.
You can try and open the bud slightly and look for webbing near the stems of each little bud cluster. If it’s ROT you’ll see this webbing I’m describing.

It's botrytis for sure. What are your temperature and RH% numbers, lights on and off? If you are running cool lights out temperatures this will aggravate humidity issues. Cool air holds less water so as the air cools the RH% spikes. Combine that with the fact that a dehumidifier can't dehumidify cool air as efficiently as it does warm air and you have the recipe for botrytis.

My issue was here 4 sure humidity - was nearly 80% for 2-3 days due to heavy rainy days - I did get a dehumidifer now today, but a bit late, should of invested a bit earlier. Its my first grow though so at least I have a stupid excuse. Temperatures are always 21-24.

fuck. sounds like whats happening in one of my tents. The leaves are so fragile and they have been drooping for a week or so. I also noticed one of the 2 pots in there is not drying out regularly, always on the heavy side. Might just do an early harvest before it gets worse im about 5 or 6 weeks into flower

yeah they pull of super easily so its bud rot 4 sure, damn. Im OMW with a microscope to search for webbing. I heard I can let it be if I fix the enviroment which I did but I guess I will rather chop it off earlier with big tears on my face
