What happened to these buds ?

They look great and almost done!

The yellowing you are seeing is the plant consuming the nutrients stored in the leaves. Which is an end of life process for the cannabis plant. Completely normal.

Canna flowers can feel oily, sticky, sandy, leathery, play dough like, all kinds of textures. This is completely normal.

It looks like you will have a very nice harvest of some very nice herbs!

One thing I would do is right before lights come on spray the plants down well with plain water. Just a good rinse before harvest as I see a few bugs stuck to the sugar leaves. No big deal as the buds look great. A little rain will do them good.

Let us know how she smokes!

The one in the second post looks like it might be rotten inside around the stem. Definitely see a brown leaf or two sticking out there, too. Same with the one in the back in the first pic (I assume that's the other one you're talking about?)

Dead sugar leaves are never a good sign, especially if it's just a few or isolated to one bud. Sorry for your loss if that's the case, the rest of the buds look great, but yeah that one in the second pic I'd cut out right away...

So in nature you are saying it rains only on the leaves? Smh

The point of growing inside is to eliminate less than ideal growing conditions such as rain on buds.
Water on dense buds inside a tent is not something I'd be wanting. Just bad practice really. Someone with growing experience would know that.

I agree here. The upper cola has an excuse being closer to the light, but for the lower nugs to look worse? I’d probably clip that gram off as well. Clipping sick parts of a plant
of allows for the healthy remnants to benefit.
To me that lower nug in the second post is sick on its own. The rest of the plant doesn’t resemble this nug, so I don’t think it’s normal.

Another thing going through my mind is the fact that the plant is approaching it’s finish line, and clipping that nug would fall under HST just like topping, and may slow the rest of the plant down as it heals. So clipping could add anything from a couple of days to a week to recover.

Good call on that. Yah at this point I guess maybe wait until it's done and then I'll just clip those buds out

Absolutely do not spray down your buds with water or anything else - unless you want a chance at mold.
Personally I would take that ‘ Frankenstein flathead bud ‘ and scrutinize the other upper buds.

You can do partial harvesting - taking the most mature buds and leaving the lowers and mid area buds to finish.
By cutting the mature buds from the top of the plant and clear the branches and leaves to allow better light penetration to the lower portion of the plant. And the lower buds will continue to grow and ripen and can be harvested a week or two later.

I wouldn't wait. Botrytis (aka bud rot) is systemic, meaning it can spread from one part of the plant to another through the vascular tissue.

That stem will heal over in a day, and your loss will be miniscule compared to the amount of healthy-looking bud still on the plant.

Just to be on the safe side, if you can get to the plant properly check the stem-line feeding those buds. Look for any bits were the stem is thinning out, browning or drying out. They could have rot. Most of the time people dont realise till they see buds that have dried out and go a weird gold colour on the live plant. The plants do look fine to me but if your actually there and know and see your plants, so if you feel there is something off with certain buds go through your checks. Good luck, looks like a nice plant.

There is nothing wrong with rinsing buds before harvest.

Dude you spray PISS on your plants...and you are worried about water??

Foliar during veg is different than at full flower.
As far as “ bud washing “ - that is a method of dunking harvested buds to help clean buds of dirt / hair / etc.

But cola breakdown will determine if any possible mold exists.
