You have good air flow? I mean like good air flow flowing on the plants themselves? Sounds like you might be getting some mold in those buds.... hows the Humidity in that room?

I mean i have a inline fan on the top of the tent and i have a humidifier but the room probably dont even go over 40% HUMIDITY...and i have a little 6 inch fan in inside the tint located on the top. thats about it.

sounds like mold build up to me. if it is mold you need to get it taken care of before it spreads to the other plants

it could be the strain. I've seen people on here asking the same question and they tried cracking them open and there was no mold, but it is better to be safe than sorry. If it is bud rot then you need to get it out of there a.s.a.p before your whole harvest is ruined. take your plants out during the day light hours and give your whole grow area a nice good cleaning to make sure there is no more spores.

are you watering too much? you should let the soil get bone dry before watering, ive seen the same thing happen from over watering.

Give the lower bud a sqeeze and see how it smells. Sure its not just you, can you get a second opinion before ripping the buds open?
