So I should’ve been more aware an paid more attention but is this bud rot. It’s got some webbing. Is it salvageable? I have no idea how long because I never looked. There’s a few others with no signs. What’s the protocol?

So if that plant was grown outside your looking at caterpillar damage. As they chow down on your buds they poop and piss which causes the rot. If your seeing webbing the worms have a toe hold in the plant and are likely getting bigger.

You can spray the plants with Monterey BT which will kill the worms but it's likely too late. You need to pre spray the plants throughout flower so your late to the game in that regard.

You would have to go through the buds with a fine tooth comb. You don't want any contaminated bud going on the drying rack.

On the California coast the evening moisture can cause botrytis, I started seeing it this week. Same in years past. As jbc said, caterpillars only add to the contamination. Spray BT at first sign of white hairs, then regularly. When a plant gets hit with botrytis, the largest buds go first and usually continues until there is not much left. I triage daily which kind of keeps it from getting out of control. You may want to schedule the plant for harvest. I would like to see at least full milky trichromes prior to harvest. Mid sept harvest is a full month too early, but if I wait another two weeks my plant will be down to bare stems! Damn bud rot!

I feel like my plants are on that show 1000 ways to die

And I’m suppose to garden them and feel as tho I have failed my crop. I will combat this attack with everything I got.

Boy Scouts honor code420
Never let thé nugs rot or thou shall face no yield for thine years crop. Stay frosty like a snowman. Boy Scouts honor.

I am in the honor of thine knowledge of sleep being the foundation or health, I shall resume my strategic plan of abolishing thine disease and pest invasion. These frosty dense dank nugs shall be avenged
at dusk.

winter is definitely coming. Never give up and salvage what is deemed salvageable and above all else. Stay vigilant for our darkest days are still yet to come with the increase in nation wide cultivation. Disease Resistance must not take hold, always remeber when it’s quiet, that is when one must ponder the idea of quietness becoming to quiet.

may the forces of Mother Nature be in your favor.
Damn that bud ro-
Shit I forgot what I was talking about. Stay toasted my friends stay toasted.

What do these said bastards look like. Flush has been initiated. May those dirty dick beaters suffer for what complications they have inflicted on these dense nugs that I was looking forward to ingest via inhalation.

Shit so apparently it’s a bad idea to let a daily flow of water from my spicket flood the side of my
Yard in a desert. I have recently realized that the thousands of massive grass hoppers and other terroristic inscents that absolutely love the bright street light swam to uncomfortable numbers that with each door opening leading to so many pest invasions I can’t give an exact number of species but I may consider a hazmat suit and fogger to take control back. These bugs have made a grave mistake to think this mistake of mine would go unnoticed. Neighbors are suspicious as I appear to be the only house on the block to have such a gathering of rather large grass hoppers and moths. I must thank the cannabis that just made me realize this careless mistake.

This has been a terrible season for botrytis-I have 3 rl friends growing outdoors this year, and 2 of them got hit hard. The one that didn't picked mold resistant strains and was serious about preventive IPM-he sprayed neem/silica during veg, a couple different bio-fungicides, and even sprayed the buds with chitosan after each rain. Good to remember for next year. Regalia is good for outdoors too, but $$$.

Can I see them? Preach please. I just cut the top 4 big ones off. I had it separated from the rest but then someone didn’t follow directions, should I harvest everything? Here’s a closer look / dissect. I’ll pull my scope out gimme a min. Do have adhd so be patient

lots going on :( group hug ? Being in on it and no it’s not about the stupid weed I put a lot of work into I’d rather not disclose.

Oh yep I think I just got diagnosed with clinical depression.
I’ll take a look but preach please I need it. I dark spot? Oh all I the dark spots that look like a old banana?
May be something worse than clinical depression. On my way to the hospital Once I manage to get the scope out that was already done for me. Thanks Most someone’s done without asking for anything in return without saying anything. Read it again.

yeah. Definitely heading to the hospital for a eval might just call it a vacation but if someone throws feces I’m suing

At first baby caterpillars are super small. Once they start eating your plants they grow. They come out at dawn to feast before the rising sun sends them back inside your flower.

Multiple moth species lay eggs from July to late fall, October.

I spray BT once a week from the start of flower to the end. You want that first bite of food to be their last. They fall right off at that point. Never able to establish a foot hold in the plant.

BT will stop an infestation but at that point the damage is done. Expect them every year. Next time you pretreat and you will be good to go.

I am wondering the same thing about bud rot. My plants basically decayed overnight but there look to be some salvageable buds. I am tempted to cut out the bad parts and keep the rest but everywhere I have read online says trash the plants that’s infected bc you don’t want fungus in your lungs; lungus . What is the practice of pot growers bc I have a hard time believing most growers would toss an otherwise ok looking plant. I might just say fuck it all though too. ‍♀
