Is this bud rot?

I harvested yesterday LSD Barneys Farm. Day 85 ish. Air flow at the end suffered. Is this bud rot? It doesnt smell bad. It just is dry. Tons of trichs. No mold that i can see... Ill take a better pic one sec. But yeh, everything i read its bud rot.

So, cut away, throw away, and continue drying? Only like 4 of the 15 colas were affected.IMAG0232.jpg IMAG0235.jpg IMAG0236.jpg

I am new (only 3 grows under my belt,) but I got budrot on my first grow on the middle most dence part of colas due to bad air flow. It was fuzzy white, I think you have zome sort of rot going on. Especially in the third pic, that brown cNt be good. Dony smoke bud rot bud, I heard if you can get theze micron screens you can filter it I guess and turn it in BHO.
 
I cut it all out. Actually effected less then I thought. And looking at it its rather sticky. And some more on the dry side. Stuck it in a jar with a boveda pack separate from the good buds. And if I can bring the RH up in the dry spots and see if a cure helps. Then blast it.

But any sign of mold or anything ill ditch it.
 
I had to leave for a week. Someone took care of it for me. It was like this when i cut it down. This pic is 12 hours old from chop. I think the person didn't rotate the plant and rested it against the tent.

That will do it. Leaves can't dry out properly when up against something and the extra moisture sets off the rot. Glad your overall harvest went well.

This has happened on my first grow and every other one since to some degree. I live in a very humid climate and have started growing more sativa dom or 100% sativa varieties which are very resistant to molds because of their geographic origin. We even have to keep our table salt in a ziplock on the table. My advise if flowering indicas in humidity is airflow, and you might even have to carefully pull the buds apart so they are not all clumped together from halfway thru to the finish. Oh, and don't forget the GreenCure at first sign....u know those single leaves coming out around the buds talk to you. If you see a couple yellowing when everything else around it is green then die, pull back that bud and peek at the inside. Chances are it's worse than u thought. This rot also continues after chop without good ventilation. I cut newly discovered rot immediately then spot treat with potassium bicarbonate solution. The mold spores also spread rather quickly infecting other susceptible plants. Make sure to wash tools after each cut as this also causes it to spread.

I was quite upset after my first harvest when I was cutting out my bud rot. It went alot better than I thought it would though, I have 1 big oscilatting fan and 2 smaller fans (only 1 small fan oscillates) in my 4x4 tent now. Theres always a nice breeze on them now.

Or you can step up your game even further and spring for a dehumidifier:peace:like I had to .
After that I went from 100% chance of bud rot to less than 5% even with indicas
