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.

Is this normal or mold?
Is this normal color for orange critical punch? She is darker than last week at a few buds. I just want to make sure this normal or a form of mold or something. I'm harvesting her in 7 days. She is starting flush now.

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

Hi all. I have just found 2 more buds with budrot.. They are around 8 weeks now. Showing milky trichomes on most. Some with slight clear/milky. Very few with amber... I have decided to harvest right away.. Should I give them darkness or should I chop right now?? 😬💚

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?!?

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?

Could this be mildew?
Hi all, I've been stressing out about high humidity levels in my tent, and a chemical smell when I smell my fingers after running them through the buds. Could this be mildew? Or just very frosty buds? On the microscope I see thin "hairs", but looks like undeveloped trichomes...

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!
