Bud Rot
- Thread starter Theyid
- Start date
one week from flushing and the back two left corner ones have done this. I assumed it's bud rot but can't see any signs on fan leaves. No 'squishy' stalks either, or branches. Anyone confirm my fears so I can go have a lie down! Listersmeghead

Unfortunately yes that's bud rot Sam.
Best to turn your fan off to stop it spreading, chop the offending area carefully. The rot spores will release easy, so with as little movement as possible. Clean your utensils and hands after before touching any of the other plants.
Bag up the rot pieces you've removed and dispose.
That's a shame Sam, but looks like you've still got plenty of healthy bud there. Looks nearly finished.

Not necessarily Sam.
It looks like the air circulation in that back corner might be the culprit, but if the humidity is high and air movement is low the rest could be at risk.
Humidity is really high in uk as you know. So unless you can manage it (lot's of fan movement, extraction high whilst keeping temps up) or dehumidifier, then you may be better chopping a week early.
What colour are the trichomes?

OK, that's a bonus..they looked pretty close from the pictures.
So it's a calculated choice for yourself.
1, chop the rot and carry on for the last week or so, but you'd have to manage the humidity and more air movement.
There would be a risk involved.
2, chop it now..

Yep, that's what I'd choose also with them being so close to done.
Just keep a good eye out when chopping for other patches.
You've grown a beautiful crop there Sam. Going forward maybe instal a few more clip on fans (or bigger) so you get all plant tops moving in the air, even in the corners.
Good luck bud.
And good luck without Harry kane this season.

If you're worried about the spores spreading you could bag the cola and seal it around the stem before chopping it.
Definitely looks like bud rot. My experience is that it starts inside the bud and works towards the outside. No real signs show up on fan leaves, stems, or stalks.
Not sure what you mean by "all four" but it is best to inspect each large bud one at a time during harvest.....I been in and out inspecting those particular two - is that going to have ruined all four?
Take a look at the bud in the front left corner. It looks like it is close to the same brown color as the two in the back left corner.
