What do you guys think?

@Heavily Medicated Thanks for the reply!

Are you growing Hydro? Do you grow autos or photos? What feeding schedule do you use?
I grow a flood to waste system with peat for a substrate. I grow both photo and auto. I kind of follow the expert schedule. I only use the SensiGrow base nutes and B52 for 3 weeks veg, then switch to SensiBloom base nutes along with Big Bud and Bud Candy starting the B52 back up after flowering kicks into high gear about week 5. Overdrive starts when I see the first red hair. I run all the supplements at 2 ml/L and I use a TDS meter and run in the ranges of: seedlings at 300 - 600 ppm, veg at 600 - 900 ppm, and bloom at 900 - 1200 ppm. Autos run at the lower end, photos on the higher end. Each plant is different and I pretty much let the plant dictate the ppm. Hopes this is helpful.
 
@Heavily Medicated

She started to look worse today after I bumped up the Gal/Mag to 1ml/L a few days ago, so took your advice of no Cal/Mag, added in B-52 again and started Overdrive after a res change. The leaves really started to dry out toward the top and midway down, canoeing, and yellowing with new brown spots. Hopefully she starts to look better in a couple days.

Nutes:
17L of RO Water
Rhino Skin - 2ml/L
B-52 - 1ml/L
Bud Candy - 2ml/L
Big Bud - 1ml/L
Over Drive - 1ml/L
Sensi Bloom A - 2ml/L
Sensi Bloom B - 2ml/L

New Readings:
Day 60
PH: 5.7
1000PM
Water Temp: 67F
 
@Heavily Medicated Andddd they are looking worse.... I think I developed bud rot now... ugh! It appears to only be on the main cola right now. Didn't notice it yesterday but did this morning. The white webbing is still white and hasn't darkened yet so I'm assuming I caught it while it's early. What do you recommend? Chopping off the main cola and trying to save what I can and hope it didn't spread to the rest of the buds?

Is there anything I can give it/foliate it with to help?

She is on day 62 from seed.

Bummer man, you definitely got bud rot. I've only had it once, I cut off all the buds that I could see had, did an alcohol extraction on the moldy buds and made butter. I think you should consider extraction on any bud that may be moldy. Get your humidity down and get some fans inside the tent to keep a constant flow of air up through the canopy. I run two 6 inch clip fans in a 2x4 and 3x3 tents, both on the bottom pointing up through the canopy. Situate the fans near the bottom intakes so they suck in outside air.. I run a dehumidifier in the room with my tents to keep the humidity down, may be worth the investment.

I've removed all the rotting bud that I could identify (the entire main cola and handful of stems/buds surrounding it) and just threw it away. I broke open some of the bud outside of the grow room and it was just nasty, soggy, wet, and brown juice coming out of it. Wasn't worth trying to salvage imo. Did you just make oil extract from your rotting buds and then make butter from the extract?

Tent has been disinfected with a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide in a water bottle and wiped down and aired out.

Replacement fans for inside the tent have been ordered and I'm just waiting for them. In the mean time I am leaving the tent door open all the way and have an 18" fan blowing on her.

I have a super small dehumidifier that basically does nothing. I am willing to purchase one to prevent this in the future. Any suggestions for a 2x4 tent?

Preface: This specific plant is in a 2x2 tent by itself. My main tent is a 2x4.
Btw what I "think" happened here is mainly 2 things.
1. My 6" fan died inside my tent like 5-6 days ago so the plant wasn't getting the air circulation it needed (especially for being so short, dense, and compacted in the center stalk.)
2. I filled the 5 gallon bucket with a little more water than I normally do when I did the res change, so there wasn't very much room for air inside the bucket. I would assume the humidity of the water escaping from the clay pebbles was a large factor.

Lessons learned I suppose :\ Just really hoping it doesn't spread to what is left!

I soaked the moldy bud in 91% alcohol, strained, then let the alcohol evaporate off on a glass tray. After you can't smell alcohol anymore, make butter with what remains.
 
I'll give this a shot if the rest of what's left turns to shit. Thank you
 
I tried my best to save her but more and more buds started getting bud rot so I chopped her down :'( Here is what I may of saved. So far none of this looks infected but time will tell in the next few days if I will have to also throw these out.

Anyone have recommendations for a good strong dehumidifier? I don't have much room in my 4x2 but it doesn't seem that those little Liter Dehumidifiers do much. At least the one I have doesn't.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. It happens to everyone. Can you tell us something about the room where the tent is in? You might use that as a lung room which you can climatize with an airconditioning. But then that's an expensive thing. Might just as well turn up the ventilation in the tent to lower the humidity that way?
