I was looking through y plant I'm just itching to harvest. I flushed her last week & I noticed on one of the large coalas some brown. So I looked closer & found near the center what look like rot or something. I found something that looks like seed sacks but are pure white & fuzzy.

These are crap pictures but I only had my blackberry with me. Im going to try to get back today with the Fuji & get some Macro Photos.

If this is rot or mold, do I just cut out the bad parts or is the whole bud toast?

Thanks & will get better pictures

I think when I flushed them in the sink last week (I have other thread ref that) I might have gotten that bud wet. I was going to put it out in the rain to flush but got lots of negative responses to that due to the possibility of bud Rot. I think that's what happened anyways. I looked over all the other buds & its just the one that has it.

To be safe, Im going to harvest her tonight anyways. Still going to leave the other one to go a little longer.

I'm kind of proud of Bud Rot. Never had anything live long enough or well enough to attract mold :) (My glass is ALWAYS half full not empty!) :)

It's all point of view I guess..

what's the temperature and humidity in your grow area? and what ventilation setup are you running?

Too noob to know :) I don't have a thermometer or a humidity gauge. Christmas is a comin though :)

Ventilation is a square fan with a charcoal filter screwed to the intake & it exhaust out the back.. It's at the bottom of the cabinet so it actually draws the heat down to the plants before it leaves.

I will be changing that when I rebuild my cabinet over Christmas.

My whole set up is pretty simple so I get what I get. Once again though.. I will fine tune things over Christmas with the bonus & the 2 weeks off.

I took off all the amber buds at the bottoms but the larger ones don't seem to be darkening. In fact. they haven't done anything for the past 1-2 weeks. They seem to have stalled. Have no idea what to do. I've tested the smoke & its good so that's why I wanted to chop the one down totally. Its Norther Lights & its on week 12 or 13 of 12/12. I know the Miracle Grow soil gave me grief & burned everything to hell so I thought it is what it is.

I don't mind leaving it longer. remove the rot & just keep her & her sister under the 12/12 for as long as it will help.

What is your suggestions?

After further inspection I found 2 of the other coalas had rotting parts. They were in the center of the buds so I couldn't see them until I started trimming.

I got nervous & harvested the whole plant.
I cut out the nasty parts & my haul is drying on a screen right now.
The samples I cut a week ago were good smoking so I figure this will be ok. Never had bud rot before. I will keep a serious eye on my last plant. I'm going to just keep her going until its nice & amber.

IF you missed some, would the bud still be safe to smoke? Smoking mold seems pretty dangerous & I think I would toss it away to be safe anyways.
