Bud rot? This is about four weeks after last update in journal.

rividiumstarted grow question 2 years ago

I'm assuming this is bud rot, primarily on the main cola. If so, should I just slice that entire thing off (ouch...) to try to save the rest of the plant? Took a pic of the main fain leaves showing them drained of color and rotting at the tips. Possibly spreading? Harvest now?

Buds. Other

I can tell you from first hand experience, you've definitely got bud rot... and yes, it DOES spread. What you should do here is cut out the rot completely (unless it's on a small bud, you don't have to take the entire bud off) and if you're NOT going to harvest, spray the area with a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. Work on ONLY one site at a time, sterilizing your utensils between each site. Thoroughly examine each bud... if you see dead leaves on a bud, that's a site of bud rot - you might only see one or two leaves that are dead but that just means the bud rot has only just started there... Again, if you decide NOT to harvest right now, you will have to examine each bud minutely every day - because it spreads and spreads and spreads... My recommendation is to harvest her as you will save as much of the buds as possible... otherwise, I can rather guarantee you that you will lose more buds as time goes on. And as you trim, KEEP examining the buds because sometimes the rot has started well before you see evidence of it but will show up by the time you get to the trimming... It's been a bitch of a year for outdoor grows... but seriously, save what you can! Good luck!

It does look like bud rot where the main cola is turning brown. You can cut aorund it and remove everything from that little spot and it should help fix it from spreading so easily. I would recommend a bud washing with a touch of peroxide in the water once your all done to help combat it from reappearing/spreading in cure. Some of the leaves look like they have been burnt by the tips curling up and browning but they also look like they are fading from end of life. This all adds up as your plant is said to be 4 weeks past the last update, if the last update was on the 8th week we are looking at a plant in its 12th week of flower. I would say its time for harvest. Good Luck! ***disclaimer, multiple people are answering all questions as there is a contest called GOTM, when a user is selected as the answer they get a point.
