Just chopped last night.
There's almost definitely no bud rot although I can see how it can look like it. I checked thoroughly.
There was definitely a tad bit of brown leaf that was close or just about next to inside of bud but I checked and inside was as pretty as you'd expect..
Just hung up and weather is cold in NYC so easy to get 60f and 65%rh. Hopefully it'll go OK. Last dry was on quicker side. Like 7 days and it was a bit too dry in some areas...
Have moisture meter now so should be able to check with np. I do see that people put the meter prong in the bud. Why not in the stem?
Anyway, I'm happy for now. Once again she doesn't smell hardly at all until you sniff the inside of buds or at least get nose close to bud.
My first grow after cure still doesn't smell strong until you break it up.
Looking at photos it's obvious the color different in the top of plant and the rest.... what does that tell? Referring to upside down hanging photo although others look perfectly fine so maybe it was the light on camera Did I have light too close maybe? Was 12 to 15" but never over 950 par. Never over 80f flower might have hit 80 a few times but not for long. Last week I had low 60f to try and bring color. But overall she looks green. Maybe the top is the part that was starting to get colorful? Although ìn photos it looks straight brown i must admit. Not bad up close though.
