I was hoping avoid this but its been pretty rainy and humid here, I have been inspecting all buds, i noticed a part of my top cola discolored so i went ahead and pulled at it and cut it out. I found this .. I continued to look at the rest of colas and found one more spot. Tricomes are more cloudy still some glassy and pistils are about 50/50 orange and white. Should i just chance it or harvest. I cut out affected and sprayed peroxide solution.
Bud rot top cola!

Cut that branch about the inches below and bin it... keep the rest going

Yes check everyday for progression of rot. If you can get some kind of fan in front of the plant just make sure it’s not blowing from that plant onto another adjacent one. Spores will travel and every time it rains or if you get early morning dew go out and shake the plants off ! I ran into that with mine and pulled early it sucks im sorry to hear good luck!
Ok i will definately do that. I have 2 other plants flowering really good and one that just entered flower.i dont want any problems with them. So ill have to keep this one off to the side or something. I dont think she is too far off to harvest but I really dont wanna lose all of her. Thank,you

Very welcome I would definitely move the unaffected plants far far away from the one in question for sure !

Last year i was picking off eggs every morning, used btk into early flower and still had ‘em hanging off drying plants.

Threw me off but yeah, you're probably right
They string from web down into your soil during the day, and reappear at night.
Coating the soil after watering, A nice top layer with DE can help this. Rub it on the stalk also.
I would take it easy on the BT.
I have cut out infected parts before. Made sure it was all clean again.
You lose a lot of flowers but rather try to salvage what you can. I am not sure about the Hydrogen Perox
SOunds like you have a few weeks left on the plant so maybe clean her up and let her heal from the mess before harvesting.
Just my thoughts
Yes, a while back i had 1 caterpillar there but it was so small, i even opened up the area and nothing was there but i guess it escaped me!
I been using bt spray as well, before flower i was using neem oil. But pests have been horrible this year! I heard you can use bt up until 2 weeks before harvest but i dunno for sure

Outdoor bud needs to be washed. I dunk in a weak peroxide bucket then freshwater before hanging. Cervantes also used lemon juice and baking soda.
Edit: i also use a blacklight flashlight at night. Btk gets most tho.
