Hi all, looks ike i'm nearing the end of my harvest maybe a week or so left however some of the single blade leaves on my colas are dying off and looking terrible.
Resin is cloudy but haven't seen any amber yet
Should I harvest early or keep it going and just remove the leaves before dring? Very worried, so hopefully I get some quick replies

Bit more info would help get more responses. Type of medium and what do you feed it? temps and RH in check? Is it all over the plant or just the one or two buds shown? If all over the plant and if it's happening fast might a pH imbalance or other root issue. If it's just one or two buds might be bud rot and you should be ready to cut it out. Sorry I'm no expert. Hopefully others will chime in. Think you've got at least 2-3weeks left to go...hope you can save her, good luck.

Medium: Soil
Feed: Biobizz full line according to feeding schedule

It's just happening to two of the top colas leaves have been yellowing but this is the first i've seen browning/dying on the single-blade leaves o nthe buds

Temps got hot today, caught it about 45 mins after the lights turned on, temps rocketed up to 31-32'C but i have turned the lights down to 400W to try and cover this. Aside from that Temps have been around 25'C lights on and 19'C lights off. haven't seen any spikes aside from today (about 1.5 hours ago)

Edit: Nope. Temps went wild 2 days ago

i have intake and exhaust, but we have had some HOT weather the past few days and even keeping the windows open in the room hasn't been enough to cool my intake.

Sometime in the future it may need to be done, but with the very few "swelteringly hot" days we get per year, it has never felt like a necessary option.
Up until now.

Sounds like now might be the time. A window unit can be bought new for under $150. A used one off CL for about half that. A worthy investment. It will also dehumidify your grow space which seems to be what you really need if you're experiencing bud rot. You will still want to vent outside

My sensor shows that humidity has been around 40% sometimes slightly lower. Can't see this causing bud rot? Could it jsut be a temperature problem?

Cut them off and check them for bud rot dude. I've seen that brown leaf thing before. It may not be that bad if you deal with it now. If you don't and it gets worse you'll kick yourself.

Don't rule out a staggered harvest. Lop off the top buds, then just run the lower buds for 14-21 days later until they are dripping with ambers and stinking of ripeness.

I have just snipped one of the bud stalks, should I leave it to hang dry first or start breaking it up to check for the bud-rot?
