Not bud rot..that is what Rosterman gets on his testiclllles...

what you have is damage done by trichome worms

nothingnyou can do about it at this stage unless you want to get a needle and try and find those feckers and dig them out

next time use some Spinosad and start spraying early and spray about once every three weeks until harvest

What the hell is a trichome worm?
Looked like the beginning of BR to me. Learn something new everyday.

What the **** is a trichome worm?

some small moths , I think Miller moths , lay eggs early spring outdoors and worms hatch and eat the buds from inside out...

a real,fecking nightmare if they get out,of hand and can ruin an entire plants buds with what looks like bud rot

 

[WeedHopper]

Well ill be damn. Never seen that before. Ive seen those stalk borers before in my veggies. They eat the stalk from the inside out.

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Damn since it fem seed won’t it make seeds if I just let stay flowering since I’m not smoking it anyway

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Sorry for jibber jabber typing and improper talking I’m working so I’m just typing fast
The reason I asked about seeds was I had two last harvest so I was thinking I could let keep going for more

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Also thanks for the replies y’all

 

[WeedHopper]

Was the plant in a moist area.

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Yea it wasn’t at first but I need to move cause of some new neighbors

 

[WeedHopper]

Okay. If it was in a lot of rain or in a area with a lot of moisture, that is Bud Rot. Make sure to remove those Buds from plant.

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Whole stalk of that top or each bud itself?

 

[ChronicalClouds]

@WeedHopper thanks bud for the help btw no resources or anyone talk about it in the area

 

[WeedHopper]

Just remove the affected buds and stalk. You dont want those spores getting on the rest of the plant. I had that happen once and all i had was two buds i had to remove. The rest of the plant finished with no problems. Mine was due to heavy rains for 2 weeks.

5 days of rain then there’s day break then 2 again so yea I’ll see what I can do I’ll let you know the progress in a week or so

Get a blower rechargeable blower is light weight and blow the plants off good and gently after rain.
Humidity and moisture are Buds enemy at late flower

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep. I used my leaf blower and also covered my Plant with a big Umbrella. That plant was a tough *****.

Funny you say that I bought an extra patio umbrella to stick the plants under if it rains too much. works good so far, had to tie the things down .

 

[ChronicalClouds]

I did that last year but I work from 8 am til 5 pm so if weather man is wrong I’m f’d but does anyone know where a beach umbrella style with greenhouse type top or uv sheet I can just leave it over the top of it

 

[ChronicalClouds]

Need something like this

A clear top with mesh sides would be best I think cause I could make a pole to hold it up higher but mesh would also air exchange and keep heat down and not let as much water in at the same time if it does rain
