Strawberry Cough (ILGM feminized)
1st time ever growing, outdoor grow, treated weekly with pest & mold repellents, 8 weeks into flowering, 4 days of rain & high humidity and I come out to inspect and find all these horrifying buds 
I have already clipped her, but I’m not sure what my real problem is even after researching this forum…either spider mites I have yet to find or mold??
Sorry for some pictures not being so clear, I had a hard time holding my phone steady while trying to steady the buds.

It is bud rot. Cut out the affected areas and treat the rest with peroxide. Suggest a bud wash when you harvest what’s left.
I would edit your pics. F bombs don’t go over well here.

Thank you for the quick response and the warning. I forgot I had edited the pictures…I was sooo mad because everything had gone pretty well with this girl & then discovered this tragic event/loss so close to the end.

I can’t seem to figure out how to edit the pictures, just my replies…any help with that?
And another question…how do I treat my girl prior to harvest? The YouTube link had after harvesting, but not before.
The edit window closes after ~10 minutes. A moderator will likely delete the pics with the F bombs.
Suggestions for treating mold problems in my 1st reply.

You should be able to edit it now that I’ve responded to the flag.

I would also check for Caterpillars?..The first pic looks like Cater damage…Have you ever looked inside any of the damaged buds?..Then again yes I do see some white webbing…Just a thought?

Did you find any larvae of any kind you may have what we call asshole Moths if you did i’m in Florida and I have overnights seen plants change incredible back in the day we didn’t have this rainy summer pattern that we’ve been getting in many times outdoor growers you don’t control where you grow it controls you and changes I’ve literally had to dig up grows and moved before and the area wasn’t ideal and they flowered way too early in that rain in that heat ate me alive moth damage looks similar

At any rate Neem spray at night as you grow

No caterpillars, larvae, no pests in most of the buds. 1 bud did have a dead caterpillar in it so I figured that particular one could’ve been from that

We have those dang moths here in VA too but I killed what I found (moth & eggs) before they had a chance to destroy anything. My entire grow has been treated weekly for pests & mold with ILGM potions, Jack’s dead bug, Jack’s BT, neem oil treatments, & aloe treatments…of course not at the same time.
I’ve been doing neem oil in between other treatments (ILGM bug buster & mold, Captain Jack’s dead bug, CJ’s BT, & aloe treatments) trying to stagger them so it wouldn’t be too much at once.
So many opinions as to what it is…I’m getting confused…lol. But I was finally able to get PureCrop1 so I’m going to start treating them with that til the end of there grow.
Omg just watched the video… this dude is so relaxing!
Do not spray neem on buds, they will taste terrible! Captain Jacks Deadbug can be used until harvest, just do a bud wash at harvest.

Yep, second that. Never neem except in veg. Flowers will not be good unless you like to garnish w Neem flavor terps.
