Shame about the bud rot, but I think you got to it in time. Hope you don't find any after drying/curing. Impressive looking plant none the less :).
I usually get some bud rot in my outdoor plants, it generally has to do with high humidity and a lack of air movement. When I get it in my outdoor plants it's always the ones that are against the wall. The humidity can get much higher in unventilated corners because nearly-ripe, fat buds sweat quite a lot. Were all the rotten buds along the sides?
