started grow question 5y ago
Start of bud rot maybe? Only brown ish spot on the entire plant. Looks like it's just on the one vein coming from the bud. All other spots are green.

Small bud rot - Harvest or finish off? 9 weeks into flower
I've had to cut about a 1 inch section off the top of one of my colas due to what appears to be rot. I've checked the rest of the plant and can't see anywhere else that has been effected. Should I harvest now to be on the safe side or let it finish up?

Potential bud rot?
My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early? I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!

Bud Rot? Mold? Or safe
One of the branches split during a storm the other day and didn't recover after a few days so I chopped. I'm wondering if the leaves trap moisture in the bud during the days I let it recover. The backside has a brown tint to it while the front looks green and healthy. Srry 4 pics

I have some very bad news and need help. I was gone for a few days and when I returned to see how the plants were doing, lots of the buds have been taken over by mould. I am very disappointed with this and I think my only option is to harvest now. Please help!

Beginning of Budrot
Is this the beginning of budrot or just the plant using the leafs (sugarleaf actually) as nutrients? I'm in the final week and in 2 days this leaf starts turning yellow on the bud. Bit worried. I cant pull the leaf out and bud looks fine but still worried

Mouldy, webbed buds
The humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?

To the bin… i guess
So, i harvested with gloves, trimmed with gloves, stored at 1/4 capacity of the jar and hace opened the jar daily a couple of minutes, 55% humidity booster placed inside, i don’t think this is trichomes getting frosty, it’s clearly mold, isn't it? So, to the bin i guess…?
