How much more?

So you think nute burn huh? it could possibly be it but im not sure. Can it be connected to her being stunted for the first 4 weeks in the seedlng stage? Afterwards she was taken care of properly though.

what are you feeding with and how much and how often?
Well i did burn it a few times but it manifested on the main cola mostly and both of those were not the main cola.
Rot, really?? I dont get it, my hygrometer constantly shows low RH which means its under 20%. Only in dark periods it rises to around 55%...could that really be reason for mold?

55% is high during lights off do you have ventilation? If you have good exhaust and plenty of air moving you shouldn't worry about it being an issue IF you don't then it's most likely mold
Well first of all let me make clear that im just a hobby grower and i dont have easy access to all the fancy nutes and soil. I use an organic fertilizer with brown seaweed extract which she liked since the first fieeding but i must admit i burned her accidentally 2 times but no much dmg except for few burned tips occured. anyway, i kinda established a regime of watering every 4 days (then the leaves droop) and feeding every other watering.
Wow, i do have ventilation but...i kinda thought that its important to leave it on only during the day. I shut down my fans with the lights...it never occured to me its bad..

My exhaust runs all day and night including my fan blowing air around the room. It's most definitely bud rot starting I'm sure now. Your plants should always be dancing in the wind if you know what I mean.
Wow, thats what i was afraid of. its funny tough, my rh is constantly under 20% during daytime and i was even considering rasing it a a bit and then i encounter mold huh. anyway, since its clearly just a beggning stage, what can be done and when to do it to preserve most yield and stop it from spreadng?

I have been using small dark closets without ventilation or circulation for ages to flower indoor and outdoor plants and NEVER had a mold problem. When feeding go light on the nutes next time. Some strains don't eat much while some are nutrient sluts. Your humidity sounds just fine too. Its nute burn !!
Well yea,mine is an easy bud auto which i heard doesnt need much feeding so i started with 3ml per 0.5L and then raised it to 5ml per 0.6L as she needed more water. Only this one time i went a bit too far with the nutes (7ml per 0.5L) and got some burned tips. the other time i fed her a bit early and the burn spread a bit but not much more harm was done. So you think its from that burning? What should i do then with the bud? And also, you think sitting in dark for 5-6 hours with 50-55% rh is not what could have caused it?

And what's the humidity like when lights are on asd off for you. His environment might be different than yours. 55% in flower with no air can and will cause bud rot. You never havin a issue doesn't mean that he doesn't.

Now compare the ones that have legit nute burn and the suspect buds do they appear similar? Or different? All in all we can point out things but you'll be the ultimate judge given the information you have gotten and any found online.

Its not rot. Forget the nutes for a while just give her plain water. she has plenty of nutrient build up to live off of. I live in the southeast US with very humid air. He just said he burnt them with nutes...
Wow really? thanks mate, i was hoping it was rather a burn then a fucking mold. Anyway, shes in her 6th week of flowering (92 days from seed), although she was stunted for 4. When do you think i should start thinking about harvest? And since i fed her 2 days ago, should i just give her plain water till the end?
I appreciate your help mate. After all the advices you provided i concluded it was a burn after all. but nevertheless, i will start leaving my fans on from now on.

Plain water till the end in my opinion to flush out excess nutrient salts. It will also give you a smoother smoke. She's got about 3 more weeks from what i can see. A lot of growers flush the last 3 or 4 weeks anyway.
Yea i burned a couple of leaves on the main stem but those were fan leaves and they turned orange and crispy. This concerned me cuz it was on the actual buds and not on the main stem but two side branches
Okay thanks for the heads up! I must say I'm really enjoying this community's helpfulness.
