    HELP! How to identify bud rot and cures

    Possibly but I can't see any tell tale signs.

    Your buds are still very early days but outdoors not uncommon to get rot if you've had rain and high humidity.

    Indoors high humidity will do it.

    There is no cure for it.

    Keep your buds dry and humidity closer to 40% late flower. 50% at this stage is fine.

    As they grow inspect inside them close to the main stalk and look for white spider webby mold. It's the same stuff that grows on your bread. If outdoors do that to but if rain gets them you could end up with black mold that eats away at your buds...rotten stuff and will be the worst bud you've ever smoked. Best not to.

    Cut out effected buds but likely it will get them as they get bigger so often a cut and run approach is best if you can't control the climate.

      Bud worms and bore worms can look much like bud rot with a worm instead of mold, either way cut it off and dig into it. The bore worm will tunnel into the steam and live there, while the bud worm stays outside in/on the bud. For bud rot one can use "trifecta crop control" though everyone will say dont use anything on your buds. It claims to be safe all the way to harvest and organic.

        I inspected inside of the top, there was a small white web like thing. It seems the plant is infected as you said. The raining season just started and my plant is in outdoor. Some black spots have also occurred on the leaves. It can be seen in the photos as well. Should i just chop it and dry to avoid further damage. This is the first time i got this far 😢

          You can try and keep them dry and hope it doesn't spread. Maybe point a fan at them for good air movement.

          Or try Rwise suggestion of the trifecta crop control. I know nothing of that. Never have I sprayed my buds.

          Fans can help, shake them after every rain and watch the water fly out, cover if you can.
          Edit for the spots use a 30x zoom lens or microscope and look under the leaf, for bugs.

        If you have mold just cut it right back until there’s no mold left and it will be ok as long as it’s not spread too far down/inside.

          The tip of the bud is dead. Probably rotting because it's been there dead for too long. But it's not the cause of the situation. Bud rot eventually kills the bud when it's already completely rotten. It starts growing while the bud is still alive. That's just a dead piece of plant. Something must have bitten the branch like a caterpillar. Remove the dead material and inspect to try to find the bug responsible
