How quickly can bud rot form in poor conditions?

I've read a lot about this. I've read "it doesn't happen overnight". I've also read that in the right conditions it can begin to colonize in 12 hours. I would just love to talk to someone who's experienced it, or knows about it. I've been googling it all day. The conditions they experienced were for 7 hours at around 81° with 67% rh, but there were no fans or exhaust. That's what I'm really worried about. It's pretty bushy, ill post a pic. Luckily I had spent some time defoliating earlier this morning. I did open the tent up too. The power company has been changing poles all damn summer. This is prob the 6-7 time that's my powers gone out. But today was the longest at 7 hours. They were in my front yard all fucking day changing this stupid pole. 12 people, 3 trucks, 2 bucket trucks all so 2 guys could get up there and move lines from 1 pole to another. I'm just venting, i was stressed out all day. I thought about getting a car battery that I could use to power the fans when there's a power outage, but I'd have to learn how to make that work.

I scanned them real well, at this point I'm thinking I'm okay. But I really think that if I didn't get in there this morning I would've had problems. I separated a couple branches that were basically messed together. In these spots. This is a before pic.20220911_064908.jpg

You are most likely fine at 67% humidity, I deal with much higher humidity outdoors and would be grateful if 67% was the highest it ever got over here.

The thing with budrot is, you often dont know you have it until a bud is fully infected and brown. Sometimes youll see a tiny yellow sugar leaf coming out of a bud that can be plucked very easily and that is usually an indicator that the center of the bud is moldy. Apart from molesting your flowers to check the center for rot, there is not much else you can do to diagnose early.

Thanks, that's very helpful. Both your guys replies pointed me towards the leaves growing out of the buds. That is what I'll look for when I go out tomorrow morning. I wanna try to take a few more leaves and see if I can spread the buds out some. Thanks again
