Brown Buds Only on Some Plants

FlowerBoi · Sep 15, 2025

Can someone please tell me why a couple of my buds on only a couple of plants have turned brown everything else is fine.

Not the best of pictures but probably bud rot or mold, take better advice than me I'm not really an outdoor type

Looks like mold to me!

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I've been fighting those tiny green/brown caterpillars this year like crazy, If they stay in the flowers long enough I end up with stuff that looks like this. They also tend to leave behind a little spider web of sorts.

I've also been having super foggy weather non stop, which mold seems to love...

Yes! What do you do? Like I said it's only a few buds and I've pulled them all off.

Honestly I have little experience growing outdoors and try not to spray anything during flower...chucky and the other guys that have replied have much more time outdoors. hopefully they can chime in cuz those bugs are kicking my ass right now too...

Pull off the affected parts

Pull off the infected parts and open them up. If you see signs of a moth larve you need to handle this ASAP. Moths and such like to land on the top buds and lay eggs.

Insect cloth on top can help lots. Nothing to be done about the infected buds pitch them. Some versions of larve tunnel down stems damaging the whole bud run.
Ick bugs.

Very informative thanks a lot. It's just weird why this is only on select buds.

Pulled everything off. A little more than I thought. I also sprayed orange water. I found some little hitchhikers.
