They are starting to and the leaves are somewhat dead around the budsPics?
Did they turn brown?
It doesn't look like botrytis to me. None of the sugar leaves are receded onto the nug really, and no tell tale signs of little red/purple leaves on the trouble spotsfirst rule it out or confirm break open a top with your hands if its botrytis there will be a spore cloud rising from the part you opened up and inside will be dead brown and probably covered with fungal formations. just open a top by separating budlets and see. if you are in doubt and you are able to take a photo of the inside too. check the parts that feel soft.
still wouldnt hurt to check i had this shit inside positively great looking buds and when the op says ‘dense nugs’ my mind immediately goes to budrot as per my own experience. and its fairly easy to confirm or rule out.It doesn't look like botrytis to me.
