I have had this issue with plants budding and reveging. but my climate is wet. Hope this helps explain.Hello All,
This is my first time growing and I have ran into an issue I need insight on. I planted 4 plants in the last week of May outside in Los Angeles, CA - 1) Gelato, 2) Grand Daddy Purp, 3) Clementine, and 4) Sour Diesel.
Sour Diesel matured the quickest and grew the fastest along with being the first to show some "buds". However, upon budding I noticed the little buds started to dry up and turn brown and never developed any hairs/pistils. The lower leaves just died and everything turned brown and "dust" like.
I'm now 5-6 weeks into flowering and the plant is over 6ft tall. All the lower branches died off and now on the main big colas the bottom halves are turning brown and dying also.
A few notes:
- This is all outdoors as you'll see in the images.
- I'm in Los Angeles so it hasn't rained.
- I don't water the actual plant leaves...only the soil (1 to 2x a day depending on how dry the soil is)
- The top colas are still producing new growth, but they aren't any pistils still.
- The lower portion of the colas are all dried up and just dead "budlets" remain (pics with arrows illustrate this).
- No moisture in the air either.
What's going on? Is this bud rot? And should I be concerned that it doesn't have any pistils like my other plants?
All thoughts/insight are welcome. Thank you!
Thanks for the help TheRemer. I didn't even think of the idea that they could be re-vegging. I did have some solar lights in the yard, but it hasn't cast really much light onto them.I have had this issue with plants budding and reveging. but my climate is wet. Hope this helps explain.

They will kick back into flower if they have reveged. Its just a set back, I'm not sure what it does to the yield. Hope it goes well for you. I have one right now doing it. A hermi.Thanks for the help TheRemer. I didn't even think of the idea that they could be re-vegging. I did have some solar lights in the yard, but it hasn't cast really much light onto them.
May I ask you two more questions?
1) Once it begins to get darker sooner will the plants naturally go back into flowering?
2) Does re-vegging hurt the plant or yield in any shape or form?
Thanks!
They don’t recover well this late in season, if indoors they would take time and set u back a month but outdoor you will run out of time. I say.

I actually had bud rot! In marina ca, the damn fog was incessantly heavy this summer! Screwed 2 nice plants all to hell. Have been using the dehumidifier for months now to keep the moisture low. Been at 90-100 % daily and I’ve been fighting to keep it about 65%It's very unlikely that its bud rot. Botyris, the mold that is bud rot. flourishes in low temperatures (40's to 50's F), high humidity. That is not LA right now. You've got some other shit going on, but I think bud rot is the least of your worries. You gotta have buds first, lol.
Hey, thanks Jack OG!I’m lookin at late November harvest but I’m in a green house with those plants so weather won’t factor much but the light will need to be supplemented as they are stringy
I’d cut off one of those bottom buds and look inside to rule out caterpillars
Salvage what u can and get rid of the bad stuff. If it indeed is rot it can help stop the spread. Also sterilize the tools after you use it on that plant.Yeah, I'm def going to cut it all off in the A.M. and see where I stand. No good leaving the dead stuff there anyway. Thanks!
Hey Don,I agree with both Madbud & OMR, cut the bud open & look really close for those Pillars, they can be so tiny & do so much damage. I also agree about the watering, over watering hurts & under watering helps. Let them dry out for a day or 2, then plain ph'd water only no food. Good luck, I hope you figure it out in time to save some smoke off of it. Take care.
Don.

Old man also brought out a good point about letting her dry out a bit in between watering.
