Hard to tell but I’ve had that before. Do those buds just fall apart? If so, most likely

It looks like it to me. It’s not something you want to take chances with.

4

No, they do not.

It’s clearly moldy, you can see it if you zoom in and look at the stem, definitely don’t use it anymore, throw it away. It’s healthier :wink: as bad as it is, but it would be too risky for me.

Definitely Bud Rot, I also had it in the summer. The brown spots are dry and are usually easy to remove from the flower. Dispose of all flowers that show these signs before the spores spread to other flowers. It is harmful to health to consume these flowers.

Thanks. I set it aside to see if it progresses further and confirm it’s mold or it stops and it’s good to smoke.

Thanks for the help.

But hopefully well separated from your stash, because if spores start flying, the “anti-fun” will spread :wink:

Yes, in another mason jar.

The spores are already flying . . . have been since he started handling that bud. Anyone who’s dealt with botrytis knows it . . . and knows it should have been put in an incinerator rather than a jar.

@dxn_gwj Clean your grow area and equipment well, if not it’s likely you will see this on future grows

Bummer man! But better safe than sorry. I got that on my last outdoor grow and that’s what pushed me to spend the money and grow indoors

It is 100% clearly bud rot I’m sorry to say. Cut it off and hope it hasn’t spread

13

Clearly, down by the last bud, it also looks like that between the bud and the branch. Look very carefully now, otherwise it can still spread during curing. If I’m not sure,

Hi, I think the simplest and quickest way to avoid contaminating your other plants is to check them under a microscope or with a magnifying glass to see if you can spot any mold growth. If you find mold, remove all the affected flowers.

A good trick to detect mold is to turn off the light and take a black light tube into the tent; when it’s on, the mold practically glows at you and you can check the entire plant in 10 minutes.

Hello, everyone. Updating this a few weeks later:

Turns out it wasn’t mold. Didn’t progressed any further or had any problems with the harvest.

Thanks everyone for the help.
