Could be a budworm causing that rot. Like renfro said, open it up and check her out.

DONT TAKE THE WHOLE COLA! Been seeing guys cutting off whole tops, just peel it back, cut off the affected areas.

So I found more rot, was too much to pick out so I ended up having to cut around 2 inches off the top of 3 colas...
Not alot of loss but are they now susceptible to other problems??
Thanks again

Guys, now I'm wondering if I should take that plant out...my greenhouse is gethto..
Being first grow, I didn't build it big enough for 4 plants. Had no idea that they would get this big from seed.
Any of u suggest taking the one plant out? Afraid that it'll spread to the others?

Cooler temps and lack of air movement are common factors. I would definitely remove one to save the other three.

Bud Rot is systemic so it will keep recurring if you don't change the environmental conditions that encourage the mold to grow. Your greenhouse looks sealed enough where you could put a small dehumidifier in there.

K, thanks all. I yanked her.
Good suggestion on the de humidifier, looking on Amazon as we speak

When temperatures drop the RH% rises since the air can't hold as much water as it did when it was warm. So your dehumidifier will not only drop the RH% by pulling moisture but also by warming the air.

Actinovate is a good tool to have as a preventative when controlling the environment isn't going as well as you wish.

You will need a decent sized dehumidifier to have any kind of affect but it will certainly help a lot. And as said above as many fans as you can get in there really lol also having a fan blowing air out of your space would be a good idea.

If it's humid outside that won't help.

true it will never be less humid than outside, but without exhaust its probably even more humid than outside in there atm.

No don't open it up and look, just going to spread more mold spores. Just cut it off a bit below it and don't stress on it to much. Keep an eye out for more since it's already there and do the same and try and let her finish. And yes it's rot/mold, dead leaves sticking out of a healthy nug is a sure as shit sign.
