budrot is systemic, so if you are noticing on one cola it is likely in other areas that you arent aware of yet. It can also get worse during the drying process.

Im in US so im not familiar with Cannacure and had to look it up. It seems pests and nutrients was it's biggest selling point idk how it would do for a fungicide but says it can so yes try that. You'll be amazed once you get a good spray and schedule going how it wipes out the baddies going into flower.
Do you thing that means the whole room is fucked? I've had it before and just cut out the part of the plant and the rest of the tent was OK.
I just pulled a bud apart on another plant and it seems fine...(see pic)
I just went all Edward scissor hands on the 2 rotten plants... binned all of them.... crying shame so far I to the grow.

I was talking to my buddy Mr.Murphy and he told me that you can "wash" Your nugs to get rid of PM and dust/dirt/hair. I can't remeber the exact mix but i know it consists of Lemon juice and distilled water. Could be a way to lessen the chances of smoking contaminated product. You should definitely look into it though cause those buds look pretty fire

Not necessarily. There are always mold spores in the air. We're breathing them in right now. But if given the right conditions they will colonize and cause mold on surfaces and in your case bud rot on your plants. I've been there and it sure does suck. It can happen very quick. One day things look fine and the next you have big chunk of a cola all gushy from bud rot. Makes you want to hit something and in my case I have. But that didn't solve anything. Just hurt my hand and damaged a wall.
Keep the tent warm and dry. Low humidity is what you want. It's a good idea to wipe down the inside of your tent after each run. White vinegar is better than bleach. If your intakes aren't filtered then you should start. There are different ratings. Some are supposed to catch mold spores.

...or get an AirROS system. You can follow VPD all the way up to harvest and not worry about it. I made a testimonial video for AirROS, and all's I can say is... It really works.

Those definitely will work. If I were to spend the money for one of those it would be for the house and I've thought about getting an air purifier.

I'd like to have one for the house too... but damn!.. pretty noisy. Sounds like a jet engine running at 1/4 throttle. We have a Molekule for the house. Very quiet, and works with about the same technology.... more of an 03 generator (all Ozone, and a UV light) than an H203 generator like with the AirROS.

I didn't look at that brand but some others made for home use. I looked at the AirROS website and when I saw they had no prices but a "Request a quote" link I knew they were going to be spendy. Those are not really meant for home use more industrial though aren't they?

Yeah... not really for home use. Just commercial grow ops and some small grows. Pricey?.. yeah... but compared to what I would have lost without it?... Priceless. I think for a 20x30x9 space, it's about $6300... going from memory here, which isn't great.

.... Plus!.. the "Request a quote" is not price dodging, it's more of a "I need a little more information about your grow op to see what you need" type of deal. If you have leaks, or higher ceilings, then it's gonna change what model you need. They grade by actual cubic feet of air you're treating.

If you're doing a commercial grow stuff like that is mandatory. I think they do random mold testing for commercial weed here in Oregon. I'm not sure as I'm not a commercial grower. I've had a couple opportunities to get involved but that would have required me to invest my money that I wouldn't have today the way things have gone. Dodged a bullet there and my money is still in the bank and my bitcoin wallet. I know people that have lost quite a bit of money. Glad it wasn't me.
You can grow great weed but getting it into the dispensaries to sell is another story as there is no shortage of people that can grow good weed.

Its not a pretty picture here in Oklahoma as of this year either. Market is super saturated. The first 3 years was the "Green Rush".. but now, you can't hardly give it away. Good thing we had capital, and banked our first 3 years in. No debt, or investors. It's just "a living" currently. Hell, I even go work on a Food Truck when I have time. It pays our health insurance and is kinda fun really. Especially when we work the local Brewery. Free beer and sandwiches!

You got any fans moving air between the plants? If you're at 40% RH, then it would seem that you need more air movement. I run my fans 24/7.
One time I turned them off to do some maintenance in the room and came back over 24 hours later and turned them back on. The following day however, I discovered that I had rot setting in on one of my large colas (Yes, it can move that fast). When buds are super dense they don't get much air near the stem and it's a perfect place for spores to land and germinate. This is why it's important to have your fans running. Another benefit of the fans is that it will help beef up your stems so you don't need sticks and shit to hold up your large colas.
If you removed the affected cola and were careful not to let any of the spores float around and land on your other colas you should be fine. I had to cut the top off of a couple of my large colas and the plant did just fine without spreading rot anywhere. Just be sure fans are off, air movement is minimal, and the cola you're working on is away from other colas and plants when you do the "operation." Go in about an inch below the affected area and surgically clip the main stem and slowly remove the afflicted part of the cola and DON'T be tempted to dig into the bud while in your grow area. Take it outside of your house away from any air inlets to your grow area if you want to examine the rot.

Mold is far more likely with insufficient air movement and/or night-time humidity spikes.
My humidity is always between 60-65% RH, day and night, doesn't vary more than a few percent
Under/over canopy fans run 24/7
