Last week the buds got wet during a thunderstorm. Water and dense maturing buds don't mix well at all. After only a few days, I was able to see some dying sugar leaves. Telling first signs of Bud Rot, or Botrytis. So far, only the two green Runtz are affected. Its a pity! They were looking so nice. It happens. Now all I can do is cut out whatever is rotting and the area around the Rot! Just trying to get a little more time to mature. Its a good thing I don't grow for quantity. These will be harvested with the smaller Red, Runtz in a few days. A Red Runtz bud was cut to inspect for rot. With the color it was hard to see. It looks good. So far, the Wedding Cake's are also looking good. Bud Rot sucks! "Botrytis, or bud rot, requires specific conditions. More specifically, it requires water in order to develop and start creating spores. So, the most common cause of bud rot is high humidity." "Bud rot is a type of mold that develops inside cannabis buds. The stems on the inside of the buds start with an infection that spreads to the outside, making it extremely hard to detect in the early stages. After it has infected the inside of the buds, the rot starts spreading in all directions, producing spores that can spread to the other plants in our grow space or any other plants nearby."
