Spiders first and now bud rot...smh

I only have 5 plants so I inspect them top to bottom twice a day. this mornings inspection revealed bud rot, I guess, found it in 2 buds , cut out immediately and will inspect tonight, I hate to harvest this early but what r the odds it will come back , I also cut out a ton of middle and lower leaves. This is an outside grow planted in the ground. any recommendations.

Sounds like you thinned her out a little - so the rest depends on mother nature. Keep an eye out for more.

Good Luck!

Put a dew cover over top, might help w the moisture/rot issue. Add a fan if you can.

tie some string or put wire round your plant on stakes and tie the branches down to open her up a little, put a dew cover over the plant if you can.
you may wish to look into a strain thats resistant to mould next time, many of the strains are bread for indoor growing or polly tunnel/green house growing and dont do so well outside

100% without some sort of treatment. Botrytis is systemic i.e. it is inside the plant; just cutting off the visible parts is not going to fix it. I know there are antifungals that can work inside the plant but no advice on that or if it is safe in flower.

I gave her a bad ass haircut and haven’t found anything else despite inspecting 3:times today. Lol a couple more of them spiders but I’m killing them as I go 4 or 5 every day.... I don’t think there is anything beneficial with any spider nesting in ur plant in flower stage. It looks like we may duck the rain for 5 or 6 days ... fingers crossed....

Already on it , fingers crossed on the rain... the humidity goes up around 90% here wen it rains so hopefully it will hold off....
