Bingelingstarted grow question 3y ago
I snapped a branch about a week ago. Today i did a close inspection and spotted bud rot at its top site, so i removed the branch and inspected the rest of the bud sites on the plant. It doesnt seem to have spread. Is there anything i should do now to secure the rest of the harves

The most important thing for you to do is to inspect every bud every day... and while this may seem a daunting task if your plant is large, it's necessary. The spores get in everywhere and you're pretty much guaranteed you'll find more... I lost my entire summer harvest to this nasty shit even though I did everything I could possibly do - when I found a bit of bud rot, I cut it out (or cut the entire bud) with sterilized clippers and sterilized hands, then sprayed with 1% H2O2 to kill the fungus spores, and kept checking every bud every day - and every day I would find more... I was trying to keep the grow going to get at least a BIT of a harvest - but finally decided the rot was spreading SO fast I needed to chop - so I chopped and found more rot as I was wet trimming that hadn't even begun to show externally... ended up with a poor harvest in terms of oz and in terms of quality - since I had to chop early, it all smells and tastes like grass... and it's all in the bin now. Wasted time, wasted energy... Bud rot is nasty NASTY stuff... I hope you have a better outcome - but my advise is to not get your hopes up - just do what you need to do and be vigilant.... Good luck...

I usually remove all the affected part and try to continue flowering with the rest of the plant. That will do it most of the time.

i lost all my fights to bud rot buy everything you need for 3 stage bath and chop everything Next year use bt as prevention spray, you can spray up to beginning of 3 week of flower. there is plenty videos about bud wash, peroxide, soda and lemon and then clear water bath all should not be ice cold, only 25-30 cel degrees water, otherwise your trichomes will brake off too don't use one bath longer than 30 sec gently move inside one of many videos www.youtube.com/watch Happy Harvesting !!!
