Hey everyone, I'm just about to chop my first grow but I've noticed some darker spots which I fear may be bud rot. Under a loupe around the first few pictures I haven't found any sort of webbing, just dark looking trichomes, but on other parts of the plant without dark coloration I found some webbing which went between leaves but didn't cover the surface. I have found evidence of some pests but nothing looking clearly like mold on the surface of the leaves or buds and want to know if this seems like bud rot or not. Last three pictures show the webbing I have found which is on a separate part of the plant from the buds turning brown maybe I'm being excessively hopefully but the fact that it goes from leaf to leaf and isn't stretched across the surface of the leaves or buds makes me think that it is from a pest and not mold. Let me know if I should add any info and thanks in advance for the help!

Welcome to the farm

The webs are spider mites. Not sure about the discolored spots

Thanks for the response and welcome! Under a loupe the discolored spots look to just be very dark trichomes. I think I'm going to blow away the webs and do a peroxide solution wash (1 cup to 5 gallons distilled water), fan dry and then dry without direct breeze. Let me know if that sounds right since this is my first grow :)

Not sure about a peroxide rinse, I've never done it.
Whole plant pics as well as close-ups are helpful.
For future help, add as much info as possible

Looks like you did good for your 1st grow...

Good job!

Appreciate the support! Here are a few more pictures of the plant with most of the big fan leaves trimmed off. I think I left it a little too long outside so lots of amber trichs and the buds are pretty leafy but I plan on keeping the trim to make some edibles. Not the greatest looking, but gonna dry and hope for the best!
