4 months agoAsk a Grow Question I’m doing this here in hopes to not get shredded by people, but what type of I’m assuming mold is this? And if I’m wrong it’s not a mold/fungus, what is it and where does it comes from? I’ve had some humidity struggles so I know that’s why it popped up, but is it a spore that I need to bleach everything now? Is it just always there? Help me please dgc, this is not the 1st time I lost some fire bud to this.

Can’t tell much by photo, but I have had caterpillars spin little web homes. Spread the bud to see if that’s what you have. I just pulled one out of my auto just yesterday. Should have took a pic. 🤬. But yeah you will see some webbing from their cocoon. The bud will still be ok. Maybe a little bug shit. 💩

I’d try a baking soda or vinegar solution first.
Then neem oil or fungicide…
I’d go over all your procedures, since it’s recurring.
What humidity do you run, indoor/outdoor, tent/room, how’s the air circulation, foliage spraying, etc..

Looks like botrytis to me, but no way to know without taking that bud off and opening it up.
Need to look over all the big buds closely, as there will be more most likely…especially if humidity has been giving you issues. Not rubbing it in, just being honest. Good luck.

@Grateful_Jed thanks after further investigation and some affirmation from you guys, it’s definitely botrytis and I’m almost happy it’s nothing worse. I lose a few buds, learn a lesson.

Bud rot (botrytis) can form at 65% RH. Dehumidification is the only solution. You have to keep RH below 60% in flower to prevent fungus. Same when drying after harvest.

@jmystro thank you sir. You are definitely one of the people I was hoping would answer. I definitely struggled because an ac and dehumidifier went in the same run. Lesson learned.

Here’s the other QP from the bud rot nugget pictured. Clean as can be, per my endless eye examination since seeing that. How do I get it in only 1 small area, on 1 single nug? Now obviously I’m not complaining because in my eyes after seeing that, having nothing else tainted is best case. Did a water droplet get on that one area? Anyone with insight please fill me in. I mean I broke down all my big nugs to small as possible and I found nothing. Super stoked that’s my Black Glue that I’ve been showing(pheno 1) I just killed the light for the other 3 plants this morning, so it’s harvest time again.
