Need help in late flowering: is it bud rot?

Hi, I just noticed today on one of my big collas a discoloration, I'm afraid this could be bud rot. It's my first grow and I'd like if someone with experience could confirm.
If it is, should I try and cut that bud? Or will it spread to the whole plant anyway?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!IMG_6483.jpg

I'd crack that bud open for a closer look. You'll see the rot close to the stem if it's there. Need to remove any affected parts and figure out the cause. If you're garden is inside, high rh and poor air flow can cause it.

botrytous sp? lookin to me. cut that shit out now friend just hope you caught it early enough and its not down to the stem
 
Thanks for the quick answers

I've tried to open it up and some leaves came out too easily. I see some dark webbing too.
Should I cut the whole cola and start drying it?
Or can I just try and cut that affected part, since the top of the cola seems unaffected

Ive been there many times - chop it off, you can try and pick out the mould but it always seems to spread anyway.

100% Bud Rot ! Had it many times and its heart breaking. Always goes for the fattest buds first.

Only thing to do is chuck the bad bits away, and i mean if a cola has it, anything just below and everything above I would chuck out, and watch the rest of the crop like a hawk, it spreads fast and will decimate the big colas.

If your almost done Id cut early, if not, prepare to loose some more.

I bought an ozone generator for this purpose ( and for cleaning up after every run ). Its quite a powerful one too, 5000 to 7000mg.

Id just use it like a hand held blower and go over the entire canopy.

Dont smoke the bad stuff and try not to wave it all over the place either, the spores spread easily.
