New Grower Damn bud rot!!!!

[JJ05]

So inspecting my buds further today I discovered 3-4 colas that were in the cure process rotted the fuck out! ALL in the middle/inside. I am PISSED!!!!! I saved the tops but the side budes and lower buds of the cola, completely ruined on the inside, rotten and full of white fuzz and black/white spots all over the fucking place! I dont know if the bud worms caused it this year. Earlier during the grow season I had 2-3 completely brown/dried/dead chunks I had to cut off the nug. Then I had to cut an entire bud off like 3 weeks before harvest due to it rotting by the stem. Either these damn worms or the insane humidity had a hand in fucking me colas up. I dont think it was my drying/curing. The damage done couldnt of happened during the short time they were hangn, it was wayyyy too extensive...fuccck! Anywhoo... I still have quite abit from this years harvest I will be able to enjow ....Anyone else have problems this year outdoors???

In the red circles were the areas that were completely removed and thrown away. I threw about 8-11 grams away =( For some reason the rot was at the same EXACT spots on the other plants as the one pictured...fucking weird!

 

[JJ05]

Also I notice, the worst spots were where the fat side buds are firmly pressed against the stem of the cola. I had to pull them apart to expose the rot.

The only thing I can think is the buds were rotting outside in that insane humidity before they were hung. I slow dry. Hang for 3 days, jar/bag until ready for long term cure.

I know brother! I still have 9 FULL jars tho Minus that blueberry nug. I have 4 jars of Blueberry. PLUS 4 autos still growing...PLUS my photos. It just sucks I lost the mass majority of the colas Whats even WORSE is I sheltered the plants EVERYTIME it rained! I cant believe the humidity attacked the water that the plant naturally holds...damn these 80-90% humidity days

I have 2 jars of Pakistan Ryder ( Colas were not effected AT ALL by humidity) I have a jar of Purple Jem (was not effected at all) 2 jars of pineapple express. I had 3 but yeah.....and 4 jars of Blueberry. Not the small jars but the big 24 ounce mason jars.

yup... these are typcal bud rot issue areas...

I'm losing stuff too..as are many others with the humidity... it happens... count on it...

if you are indoor... control environmental conditions to prevent mold.

Ty JM. Atleast I have 9 full jars Hopefully my 4 autos that I have growing wont experience this being their flowering later in the season. I have begun checking my photos for signs, so far so good . I knew I didnt cause this. No way a 3 day hang would of caused what I seen. When I peeled the bud away from the stem/cola the white/black/rot was so thick/profound it had to be there for some time. It even took over the stem...sickening!

yes.... I agree with you... one thing I will say... drying higher temps / faster better air flow helps... I have a dehydrator... when i see mold coming in on stuff... I dry at 120 F to stop anymore from progessing... the shit grows so fast... you could have a little spot when you harvest and after 24 hours of what you think is drying... you may have lost a few buds as a result..

def have a read on that life cycle of botrytus.. it tells you how to at least keep from recontaminating your own stuff over and over...
