Sign of bud rot?

I'm nearing the finish but I feel like one of my plants is locked out and beginning to develop bud rot. While one plant continues to grow, the other seems to be frozen in time. No bud growth and it's basically eating itself.

I noticed, today, the pistils on the sick plant are starting to become real pale in contrast to their usual pearly white color. The leafs also feel real dry, aren't these signs of bud rot? I want to split open a bud or two but they're so frosty lol.

I feel like this may be a sign of her finishing early but I don't remember seeing this on my last grow(It seemed to happen much faster last grow and not prolonged like this time). It's hard to see what i'm talking about in the pictures but i'll post em anyhow. Any insight will be helpful as I'd rather chop early then risk the spread of bud rot.

A clear indication of bud rot is even you see one of the small bud leaves turning brown and when you pull it it will come off without any force at all.


I agree with @GBAUTO i don’t see any signs of rot!

Just see a plant with very little N left and using what reserves the leaves have to power the bud growth.

Thanks man, hopefully I can get the deficiencies under control next time!

I think I’ll be growing 2 of my bag seeds or 2 Larry OG’s. I can’t decide haha. Both in 7 gallon pots with FFOF, 1/2 cup Dolomite lime, and 1/2 cup crushed oyster shells... Too much Ca?

I seem to be getting deficiencies around week 3-4 in flower. I think I’m gonna amend Dr. Earths Flower Girl, 1/4 cup Dolomite lime, and 1/4 cup epsom salt a week into flower and see what that does.

Calcium deficiency is going to show just about then in flower. Magnesium too. The lime alone should cover it for you. I don’t know about adding that much mag sulfate. Never done it before.

Sounds good. I’ll just try the lime and see how that does. I’ll adjust to things on the next grow if need be.
