Big Brown "Splotch"

I have run into a problem with one of the plants. On my stubby plant I have about 3-4 inches of bud at the top. Not sure if the term cola is appropriate or not, since is is auto-fem Lowryder. But in the middle of the bud mass is a brown dried out splotch. Don't think it is mold, as I thought I read it was a lighter shade. I had planned on harvesting this weekend, but if I have to do it sooner to save the bud, I would gladly do so. Can someone take a look at the pictures that follow and try to diagnose what it is? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Here is the main picture. Its about 1-2 inches long and half and inch to an inch tall.

There is also up-turned leaves that extend from the damaged areas. I measured pH and it came back at a 7.1, so it is a little high but not bad at all. Any ideas?

The culprit was bud rot. I have an extensive write up (and pictures) about it in my grow journal, linked below. Feel free to take a look, some nasty shit I wish no one was affected by.
