I’m wondering if my girls have a deficiency AND what kind of pests I might have. I was taking pictures of these leaves to seek help and found what looked to me like bud rot so I chopped some bud off to keep the rest clean. There look to be eggs and bugs all up in it. Help for either issue would be so appreciated 
Have any pics of these eggs and bugs ?
Bud rot can be cause by any but you still need to know what they are to eradicate
Looks to be some kind of worms and the black dots are their crap …best possible answer I can provide with the pics a little blurred
Get some captain jacks dead bug
Use gloves and cut out any Part rotted/ affected while holding a plastic bag around it
Rot spreads fast and claims anything else it touches …including your gloves and finger tips
Get it all out then spray and then pray
First; spray down the plants with a dilute 3% peroxide solution. Really soak it down and do this before dark. It will kill existing mold and some insect eggs or larvae. Next use Captain Jack’s Dead Bug and leave it alone for 5 days. Then use a second product called “Safer Caterpillar Killer”. Leave that on for 5 days then repeat the whole process. Both products are cheap, can be used all the way to harvest and are benign to humans and animals. Do plan on doing a peroxide bud wash at harvest to remove any lingering mold.

Thank you friends only the one bud looked to be affected- I’m wondering if the bugs allowed moisture in to cause the bud rot. I chopped that bud off below the rot to hopefully get rid of the issue. I have Captain Jack’s- I’ll get all of the plants sprayed thoroughly as a precaution. Will peroxide now or after harvest affect the color and flavor of the buds?
Sorry Amanda you got worms. Spray that Captains on stream directly into the buds do it every few days. Look closely at buds daily, you can get through this but you have to be diligent.
