Bud rot???

JustSmokeItBstarted grow question 6y ago
Tips of Northern Light buds turning brown and dying. They just crumble to dust. I've cut away all of what I can see to be affected. I've read it's likely bud rot but I've always thought that would be more moldy looking. Just don't want it spreading to other plants. Any thoughts?

Yes unfortunately that's botrytis aka bud rot. Thing is it starts from the inside out. So by the time u can see it on the exterior the mold has taken a strong hold. Only in the very beginning it looks like typical mold . White wispy fluffy shit. But that only occurs on the interior of your bud formations. Hard to catch at that point as it's just starting out. Best first indicator is random dead leaves within your flowers, that seem very out of place. The fungai attacks the small stems of leaves and buds first as it's the easiest route of entry. Making that the first best indicator u need to inspect your colas. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

I'll be the third to confirm Botrytis. If that's PM on the leaves, definitely a sign that humidity is too high, lack of airflow, and/or hot stagnant air is not being expelled quickly enough. Can also be caused by catching the dusty gray spores outside and accidentally bringing it into your environment. Rain water can also carry the spores.

It's called Botrytis bro.... it's a fungus that spreads quickly when you have very high humidity during flowering.. It starts turning gray and then brown, it dries out and crumbles into powder.. That spreads, when you clean it you have to be careful not to touch the parts that are not yet affected by the fungus.. that way you can clean the affected areas and keep the rest clean.. you don't always have to harvest early, you should clean if there's time, and keep an eye on them, if you control it you can take it all the way to the end of the grow! I hope I helped you! Happy growing, hope everything goes well! (You can use a preventative from the vegetative stage, if you use bio neem + propolis you'll definitely keep everything safe)
