I'm in a bit of a situation, I got a bit of bud rot on these plants. Buds are rock solid. Caked in trichomes smells amazing. I chopped away the rot but starting to get a small bit more. Finding keeping the humidity below 50 hard. Thing is these plants look ready all the pistils are brown and a few trics amber BUT it's only day 44 since flip. These are supposed to be fast flowers anyway but day 44 isn't something I've ever experienced this advanced at day 44. Strain is silent seeds B-45. Giving the circumstances and to bring humidity down do you think it be ok.
Should I chop?

It’s very close, a week or two. Depends on what you want out of it, for a more energetic high, you could chop now, if you want more of a body high, then wait.

What do people feel about opening buds up to take a look inside? Or cutting them up into smaller pieces for drying

Whenever you pull plants - break all colas down .
That way you can confirm if more rot is hiding within.
Breaking down colas for drying ( mesh rack ) etc.
It will not make a difference to your grinder

I agree with budz.
If you know there's an issue it's best to do a bud wash, fan dry, and then break down into smaller sizes and mesh rack them
Sucks those buds look great. The spores came from somewhere, so make sure you clean clean clean then clean again. When you think you've done enough do more. Spores linger, and can ruin future crops. The mold can also do damage to your home
. Spray your walls and floors down with concrobium (sp?) Bleach all tools, pots, irrigation equipt etc. Ozone the room, and the tent. Then wipe down the tent with a mild bleach solution and leave it to air dry.I'm a moldaphobe... I can't have mold ruin crops. Can't happen, won't happen.
(Ask me why). No don't. Lol
I should just use a flame throwerI agree with budz.

Also DO NOT lump all the flowers together when you chop, be diligent about separating the rotted buds at the time of cutting it all down. Bud wash the non rotted buds as soon as you cut them down
I lumped a whole plant together and it only had one spot of rot, but it all spread while it was sitting in a bag waiting to get trimmed. I tossed the whole thing

ive read somewhere that a lethal dose of UVC is what it takes too kill or neutralize a mold spore. im not sure if uvb will do the job maybe it will im not sure but what i do know is UVC would kill the spores or neutralize them 100% good luck man
