Think i have my 1st case of bud rot

Came home today from work and immediately checked tent. Noticed this top of one lower bud (blue dream auto) looking brown . Freaked out and whacked it . Inspeced and no other buds from any other plants looking like this . Thoughts ?

This bud Was down under main cannopies so maybe airflow was lacking in this area… i have 3 fans in tent plus 2 large fans outside blowing into open flaps in tent at all times . Temps stay in 70s but himidity in the 50s sometimes 60.

You might pull it apart and see if a pest other than botrytis. I would also suggest doing a bud wash in peroxide and water.

How close to finish are you?

It happens man, air flow and low humidity during flower :oncoming_fist:t2:
Other then that it’s outta our control.

Cut the infected flower/s off a few inches down if you haven’t already and bury it or dispose of it in the trash.

Don’t smoke it because you will end up in hospital.

Increase airflow around the plants (3 fans should do it) and have more airflow through the tent to reduce the humidity to 50%.

If you are watering the plants every day reduce it to every couple of days unless they dry out before hand.

Get the temperature down to high 60sF to low 70sF (low to mid 20sC).

Sorry bud. It sucks. I had perfect 55rh and tons of air movement but a mephisto bubba had rock hard buds and found a few with mold inside. Such a blower. Hopefully the rest will be fine.
