Early bud rot?

[revilo95]

I clipped a small sample off a couple of my buds to get a better look at the trichs. 2 days later the area I clipped is turning brown. Is this bud rot or natural after taking a sample off the bud?

Hard to tell but I think you are fine and it’s just from the damage of clipping the bud

Anything I should do to diagnose further? Or just wait and see if it starts to spread?

Yeah just see if it looks like it’s spreading

It could be bruising from dull clippers but that looks like an infection to me. Cutting a plant can open it up to infection. Did you sterilize the clippers before taking the samples? If it looks like it is getting worse lower the RH in the tent to 40%. Perform surgery, sterilize your clippers and your hands for each cut, turn your fans off and carefully cut 1" below the infection cutting only the stem and remove the infected piece with as little disturbance as possible. You do not want to shake the spores off of the rot. Wait an hour before turning the fans back on. This will give the wound a little time to scab over.

Thanks, I'm growing outdoors and have had very high temps and humidity lately - upwards of 85 degrees and 85% RH. If I need to cut the infected buds off, should I bring the plants inside for an evening?
