Definitely chop the rotten bud and two inches below. Cut out the rotted part and dry the rest. Monitor everything closely
Here are the brown shots for comparison... my gut is telling me bud rot, but it hasn't progressed since yesterday and the leaves don't just fall out. No obvious evidence of caterpillars (knock on wood), but I know these buds had a heavy ass tarp on top of them for a bit. Thoughts?

Hey Enforcer, how many hours of direct sun do you get on those plants? I have a side of the house spot like that but I haven't used it because I didn't think I'd get enough sun on them. Your plants look great so I might be trying that spot.I was worried a situation like this may happen (week of rain in late flower). So I equipped my shade cloth structure with a retractable plastic sheet cover (bunched up on right side). I pull strings on both ends and my girls don't get wet. Deploys in about 3 seconds. The fan also has its own cover, and should move enough air to prevent any rot issues.
I hope.
Yup, if all those brown spots are where the tarp could touch, that would be my guess, since you checked caterpillars. The brown should be soft and progressing if it is rot.
Damn that is some nice purple. Cut the rot now
Really nice looking flowers man.
I sure hope that's the case! I'm going to keep watching them closely as we get closer and closer to harvest. Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you! The colder nights are definitely contributing to the purple. We've had a few nights in the 40's.
I'm going to eyeball these buds, I'm not quite sure it's budrot. I'm checking multiple times daily. I'm thinking it's where the tarp smushed the buds a little. The buds aren't squishy, the leave aren't able to be pulled out with ease, and it hasn't progressed at all. Right under the brown crispy leaves the buds are nice and frosty, and still very green.
Thank you brother!
Could be just a bruise from the tarp. A caterpillar would be inside the bud. Nice colors.Here are the brown shots for comparison... my gut is telling me bud rot, but it hasn't progressed since yesterday and the leaves don't just fall out.

I came back to suggest you might want to carefully cut out around the brown...rot or not you will want to trim out the brown before smoking. May as well do it now and be safe. You don't have to take the whole cola, just enough of the bud to clean it up. If you get it all you don't have to worry about what it is.

I just moved them back out into the sun. I think I made it through relatively unscathed.
During the height of summer I got about 5 hours of direct light. Morning and evening was indirect light. I trained the GG#12 plant to grow flat as I didn't want it over a 6' fence and to get as much light as possible to all bud sites during the direct light time. The lower buds are a little small but over all I'm pleased with my first outdoor grow. We should have a week of sun coming up, so I will let them soak up as much sun as they want to finish. Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks BroVery frosty, good looking. Growing the GG flat will get all those buds to turn up and all get full available light on each bud. Even though I don't worry about height, I still hang weights on stems to make them grow flat. It can really expand your plant canopy, good job.
Thanks Bro
Some trich pics with my new cell phone scope
One Jager first then two GG#12 pics.
Great shots. I don't have the phone scope, making me wish.
Plenty of trics on those plants.
