the Botrytis fungus looks white and fluffy in its initial stage, but you’ll probably never even see this stage before the mold quickly darkens and starts rotting the buds from the inside out
Thanks everyone. Unfortunately on further inspection I found quite a few buds with rot. So mad the decision to harvest the whole plant and salvage what I can. Ended up losing about 1/3 buds. Shame.
Looks like Mold to me. You must be more cautious and not wait too long to check for mold or pests because you can run into a lot of problems if you wait too long. Good luck
hello
Unless you've got chicken or other birds running around, id crack that bud open and look for bud rot. Probably chop that whole bud off entirely and any that look similar to it.
The outdoor struggle is real!
Temperature and humidity are the bane of outside growers.. Lots of guys build shelters or have tarp systems set up because buds have a hard time drying out once wet... More crops are lost to moisture/mold then anything else.
