To me it does.....sorry.....need a 2nd opinion though on salvage I haven't ever had any luck with that. I turn the plant that isnt effected into butter is all I've got. Hope I'm wrong

2nd opinion, yes.it looks like bud rot. Pretty easy way to tell, grab a hold of that brow/black area and pull, it it falls out easily, it's definitely rot. Cut back all the dead tissue and another inch or so above and below, wash you hands/tools when finished, discard everything you take off.

It's not recommended past the third week of flowering. But, I have aso found references that say it's OK. I'd err on the side of caution.

This plant is near a few others and I don't want to lose them. If people could give me any advice on additional sprays/regiment to help kill and decrease the chance of rot increasing would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to save as much of this plant as possible.

no reason to discard that plant.

h202 solution followed by citric acid solution should stall the botrytis and kill spores. Then remove the affected material.

The citric acid will drive away any worms and caterpillars in the flowers too.

i just put an opunce or so of 3% h202 in a gallon of water.


Citric acid ia 10,000 ppm, 1% solution. Only apply citric when the plant and soil are both already moist. can cause mild leaf phytotoxicity otherwise. But nothing majot. Applied properly it wont harm the plant at all


Can use lemon juice in a pinch i believe, but itll leave more residue behind then straight citric acid. Both are preferable (imo anyway) to milk and some other treatments

in bad cases of bud rot i have heavily sprayed the colas down with h202 solution with potassium bicarbonate in it bringing the solution up to a about 8.5 ph. Saturate the flower in sunlight with enough time to dry using that solution. Make sure sunny weather and quick dry time, the h202 is only active for a few minutes. Then cut the rotted section of flower out of the cola, and rinse with straight water to remove the potassium bicarbonate before applying a citric solution to the flower while its still wet.

H202 kills spores, potassium bicarbonate kills live mycelium, citric prevents spores from germinating.


Reapply the citric solution after every good rain event while plant is still wet. You will likely halt the rot dead in it's tracks as well as prevent it from reinjecting any part of that flower at all. Citric acid WILL keep caterpillars and inch worms from eating the plant matter as well. This is the first grow season ive had in 4 or 5 where i didnt go into flower with citric treatments (testing pheno resistance). And it's the first grow season in 4 or 5 that im picking those little brown caterpillars out of my flowers again that love to create scar tissue for bud rot to enter..


Lighter rains only warrant the reapplication of citric on leaves. But if it rains hard enough to wash off the flowers real good, it needs to be fully reapplied

Thanks all for the advice and info. I ended up finding a few of the offending party, hopefully after I've sprayed they'll be no more
