Would defoliation cause issues though because its an auto? Im a HUGE fan of defoliation on photos, i lollipop all my plants but ive read so many things about how not to touch autos at all so i let them be. Btw thanks foe all the replies!! ---

Also, in the two buds thats i found rot in i cut it off about 2 inches below the affected area. I didnt bother taking out just the rot i took off the entire top of cola. The two i took was probably about an oz or more becuase these are the fattest most dense buds ive ever had in my almost 3 years, 10+ grows. Im going to keep an eye on the plant like a hawk and try to ride it out. Thank you for all the help! ---

It is a lemon auto from seedsman, but it has some type genetic mutations because i grew the same strain and it was about 2 1/2 foot shorter and done over a month earlier than this one. Def some genetic tning going on but its literally like sugar coated dense buds so im not complaining haha ---

I defoliated alot in my opinion, about half a trash bag full when packed. So i guess ill try to ride to it out as long as can, check daily for rot and foliar spray 50:50 peroxide every 3 days. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/3/7/237df3525d9d03e94e46c4299695bfb2d61c9bb0.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/6/0/d60a596a5b5b506ae919b5f3939a8b91ff9f6897.jpeg) ---

@Mr_Wormwood here’s a good example of what those Lemon auto seeds I sent ya can turn into (not the bud rot bit but the giant monster colas bit) Nice plant @NewbieNick - bummer about the bud rot but it looks like you got good advice to keep it from affecting the whole plant. ✌ ---

Ok update, no more bud rot after this. I check twice daily for the reminder of the two and half weeks and harvest the week before Christmas. I put them in jars Christmas eve. Today i decided to weigh what i got. I have 390g of big dense perfect bud. I have 132g of small buds and some larf so that number will go down when i have time to sort. Overall amazing plant with huge yields for a single indoor plant! ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/a/0/ca0d07a64a8bf26344e9c0a5287ddb3c1f5e28ea.jpeg) [Previous page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/bud-rot-late-in-flower-what-do-i-do/79139.md?page=1)
