Bud Rot?

[Amateur-Grower]

These photoperiod plants are coming to the end of week 9 floweing since switching to 12-12 light cycle. This is my 3rd grow and I never have come across bud rot. I have a de-humidifier inisde the tent and the humidity is always 40% or less. Also I cant tell if these plants are ready to be harvested. I see quite a bit of amber hairs, but also see a lot of white hairs. Should I let these plants continue flowering longer?

Where is the bud rot? It doesn't look bad to me. The white tops could be a few things.

Honestly wasn't sure if it was bud rot or something else. The white tops looked wierd to me and assumed it could be that.

You have weeks left. So yes let them keep flowering.

I appreciate you letting me know that. I never knew plants could flower past 8 weeks. I'm just scared I'll harvest too soon or too late.

Plants look good. Just keep doing what you are doing and be patient grasshopper.

White tops are often from the lights being too bright/close.

It’s said to be caused by powerful blue diodes too close, common when Blurple was what LEDs were. Little potency and no mass to them. Called “Hash Tips”

It's far far far easier to harvest too early than to harvest too late. Take a look at this, it's a perfect example of harvested 3-4+ weeks too early.

First ever grow ever and using Ebb n flow oxygen cube reciruclating system

You know I was thinking to myself something like hey self, if plants drink much more in flower than during veg I probably should be flooding my buckets mire often than the 4 hours I have during veg as I'm supposed too keep my medium 90 - 100 percent saturated therefore if they drink more the...

Looks like light bleaching to me. Too much light.

That might be it because these plants grew super tall, almost touching the light. When the lgihts turn on I'll turn down the wattage a bit.

Before you do that, look up super cropping and decide if it's right for you.

Hello. I concur with the others, and your plants need at least 3 weeks before you consider harvesting. Generally, when the pistols recede and the buds look like they are carrying seeds, the plant is ready. Also, google bud rot and get accustomed to the appearance, because it will devastate your crop if you don’t remove it.

Will definitely look into that next grow. Went into the grow tent today and tried bending a stem down and ended up snapping it haha.

If it's still connected you can tape it up

Appreciate that! I stopped feeding with nutrietns a week ago because I thought it was close to harvest. Not sure if I should start giving it to them again because if I'm not mistaken you need a week or two of no nurtiemts before harvest.

Sadly when trying to tape it, it ended up snapping all the way off. I'm just gonna dry that bud for like a week then throw it into a mason jar.

Light bleach. Lights are too close or too intense, the low RH might be a contributing factor. The only issue is that the bleached parts don't have any thc. Otherwise you're good.
