I have to deal with that same issue bro. My growroom is in my old city basement. The sad thing is, it effects my biggest buds because they manifest deep inside them. I've been cringing every time my big tops swell up real big and shame is, thats what we want !! What a bitch huh..? I mean, it never effects my smaller buds, just the biggest heaviest ones and that sucks. Some of it is my fault since I dont have the proper exiting ventilation. I dont have a scrubber and I cant dare blow it outside where I'm at. I need to get one and I think that would probably fix or help that problem a good deal. I should have done it by now, its a shame to lose even one big phat boy to that nasty smelling rot. Talk about ruining the party, bud rot sure does.
Totally hearing you there dude. Part of the reason I started training my plants was to try and inhibit the size of the colas. I personally would rather have the smaller foxtail sativa type flowers - never had bud rot in them. It's always the big colas that fill right in early then just keep getting dense that I get rot in. Untrained or untopped Kolossus can develop enormous main colas, had loads of trouble with them. I'm ok in the winter when my humidity is super low (average 20%-25% - max of 35%) - but this time of year, with southerly winds and rain I simply cannot control my environment. If I come out having only lost that tiny bit then I will feel like I've done ok. Happy to say the humidity is sitting at 40% right now. Hoping it stays that way for the next week (at least).
