Hey kids, hope all is well, but hung a good lookin lady up to dry, came back to look 3days later, to this! What happened? Bud rot? Have plenty of airflow, and a small dehumidifier, with scent free “damp rid” stuff. At a loss, and super bummed

I can't see very well either, but to me, it looks like a normally drying bud. Buds look huge until you dry them, especially if they aren't fully finished flowering. The buds might look big, but when they dry, 80% or more of it is lost to water weight. As long as you aren't seeing mold, mildew, or other stuff like that, you are OK... just not nearly as big as you hoped.
Seriously... I'm not trying to be a dick, but you can expect to lose 80% of your weight when dried. If they don't fully finish, they can seem big and massive but most of the heft is grown at the end of flowering, and things can shrivel up a lot during drying. Was this the whole plant or a branch?

Hey, you’re not a dick (well, maybe a little lol) you’re a straight shooter, and I can appreciate. Been told I’m painfully honest. And that’s the whole damn plant! I know you’re gonna lose a bit in the dry. Didn’t know 80%, but I got about an 1/8 to 1/4 for whole plant. I was just super shocked. Thanks for the info, friend. Greatly appreciated

Thanks!
I can see the white fuzz.. Looks like it had budrot inside the bud before it was harvested and it just kept spreading. Molds will usually grow a lot faster in the dark.
Guess I’m needing a bigger/better dehumidifier, then? In a 4x8 tent, with plenty (obviously not🙄) air circulation, and even went LED to keep heat down. Just flummoxed. Thanks for the info

Yeah, need to keep the plants as dry as possible in flower, below 50%RH with good airflow around the buds for the last 4 weeks is best practice.

I don't think you had what you think you had. I've grown a number of plants I thought had nice big buds but after drying they shriveled into airy crap. The type of light ,the humidity, the strain & if it gets too hot or too cold it effect the density of the buds/cola's, then there's additives to pump them up but I think the jury is still out on them. The environment is the number one priority in growing big fat buds.imho
