Start of Bud Rot? Help?

Hi!

I wanted to post a few pictures, I'm not sure if I have the startings of a bud rot problem.
I had a problem with some mold on the top of my grow medium, but I cleaned the garden with bleach and added H202 to the reservoir.
Now the roots are so much whiter and more perkier, but today I was looking at my buds and I'm not sure if there's something white where there shouldn't be.
Doesn't really look bad, as I'm not even certain its mold. The bud I took the last small piece out of is fairly brown though.

But if you can see anything from these pictures, I'd be grateful.

Also, there's these funny dots on my leaves, I'm thinking they may be because I sprayed the leaves many weeks back and maybe they are the hotspots left over. Or some other problem?


Hope this is in the right area.

i cant tell by pics but only way for rot is too little ventilation an humidity WAY too high.....fix that prob first.

Yeah I've had my ductfan off for the nights to sleep easier, but I think I'll leave it on for the rest of the flower.

I've also two basic fans, one for under the foliage and the stems and one for under the lamp for the top of the buds.

one fan is plenty .... check your humidity. rot is uncommon amungst indoor growing.
can you plant her outside? nevermind , too late for that.

^^^ I agree with @Chef420 accept I would like to add...Geeze dude...get over it. After a few nights it will just be white noise. I have 3 fans and a noisy ballast running in an efficiency apartment...not too mention A/C running in the window 5 feet away. Sometimes we must make sacrifices for the betterment of our gurlz.

BTW I have never grown in hydro so I cannot advise on your set-up. But that is IMHO some kind of mold and/or rotting on the bud in the picture. So, I also agree with @JanesRain and I would not smoke it.

Indoor hydros, can't really do that.
And I've such a small apt its too hot, so I have to keep windows open and when its moist out its moist in. Luckily I live quite high up so it only concerns me once in a while.

You and your girls need to come to an understanding, that means get earplugs.
Its not me I was worried about. Its my neighbors. Although I sleep like 2 meters from the fan, I'm more concerned that my neighbors will hear it in the night. Old apt building, thin walls.
Luckily I got an adjuster for the RPM of the fan.

But does that look like mold in the pictures? Should I go through all my buds and remove all the ones with even hints of mold?

well humidity is easy to add but when too humid you must use a dehumidifier. normally though, its dry heat an fans in grow rooms so mold is not an issue.

It might be due to me having a somewhat messy apartment. Some spores must've flown from my kitchen to the tent.
Once infected, will keeping buds dry prevent mold from spreading?

Hello again. Here with a few pictures.
Does bud rot start like this, or is generic mold different?

I can only find pictures of totally screwed up buds, no early stages of bud rot.20160621_124030.jpg 20160621_124116.jpg

Mold spores spread to the rest of your buds like crazy. Not a good situation for sure. Look for white like fuzz on other buds. That too is mold. I agree with the rest that you better get rid of the humidity and get some air flow.

Are there any good ways of getting rid of humidity that don't consist of buying a dehumidifier right now?
I've a powerful duct fan, which blows the air out of my tent (its on top of it sucking inside through an AC-filter). Also two basic market fans, one for the tops and one for the stems.

Man, I guess I'll just have to be more cleanlier next grow around.

Air flow is one of your best friends and is very helpful even without a dehumidifier. Do you have a hydrometer to monitor your humidity? When you start your next grow just make sure to sanitize everything by wiping it down with a mild bleach solution. Its cheap and readily available everywhere and works well. You also can lower the humidity a bit by using ice melt like rock salt in a strainer set over a pan or bowl and just dump the water out of the container when it accumulates. It helps in a small grow space to help a little with humidity. Dehumidifiers work the best but you can only do with what you have to work with on a budget.
