Bud rot....

So no alarms yet nothing I've seen as bad yet.....my main stalk has gotten nice and thick and developed what I thought was actually a bark or some kind of hardiness around the mainstalk. I was just doing some preventative plant problem diagnosing material and they spoke of bud rot and a gray mold growing around the stem to start with. Is this colored main stalk normal?

Edit this is just a picture from the past. I don't really have any with light off, will take in about 9 hours when darkness is over.

It's been like this for a long time, just dug through pics and found one where you should be able to know what I'm talking about.

Looks okay to me, big stalks get kind of scaly, bark like looking. But check them out with a scope, mold is pretty obvious under magnification.

Also getting a little fan to put at the base of each girl. I have a big fan mixing it all up, and a intake fan and exhaust fan, but nothing really getting air to the center of the plant

don't blow directly at the plants with anything more than a gentle oscilating breeze or they probably WILL mold. passive breeze good, direct wind not good...

Hmmm so I have a mid sized oscillating fan in the room on lowest setting going across the top of them, I was gonna get 2 little small personal fans to get some air movement under the canopy, one of each girl on low. So would that actually encourage mold?

Have a box fan on the door with filters on both sides bring in fresh air, carbon filter inline fan out of the room 150cfm so I have a decent amount of fresh air exchange, just don't want dead spots in the room.
