Please Help - buds are turning gunky brown in places

It sure sounds like bud rot. Its been a terrible season for outdoor growing. I just had to take 6 plants way early due to bud rot.
No its not smokeable the mold spores cause lung problems. bronchitus, pneumonia ect.
It spreads quickly through the rest of your plant. Serenade spray does help. But if its that advanced I suggest taking the plants now before it spreads through all the buds.

yeah get rid of the brown spots that stuff spreads fast...and yes this year sucks for outdoor already saw some 100 a bag mold dope up here people need to learn to throw that shit away instead of trying to sell it to people but I guess as long as some people buy it they'll sell it.....

Thanks alot for the responses,

I looked over the stuff again this morning that I snipped off and it looks like rotting bud. It doesn't look like any mold I've seen before but if rot is mold I won't be messing around with it. I dumped it all outside and I guess I will be going back today to paul bunyon on my beautiful girl.

There are more places on it that I didn't get I am sure and there were also a couple spots on the nearest plant to it that's about 5 yards away but I didn't see any on my other 2 in that general vicinity. It really pains me because I worked so hard in a difficult spot to do it in and got this far yet they just don't have the full maturity and weight. The real positive though is that I had picked a couple sample lower level buds last time I was at them and tried a bong hit of it for the first time last night and geez I got too high. So its supreme smoke as far as potency.

I will go check it again today and at the very least whack any whole branches that show any sign somewhere or I will just take the whole thing.

Bud rot does not look like mold. Its brown and when it gets advanced its just wet and mushy.. Bud rot has spores which will spread to nearby buds. Sounds like its time to take your plants down. Chop!

So I went back today. This time I was armed with Neem oil as it says it is also a fungicide. I gave all my plants and tops a good soaking. If this is bad for the bud then I guess its too late. I didn't want to pick the ones that had no rot yet because they were too immature.

The one that had the biggest problem, I ended up whacking the duel colas and any branch that had a bud with it on it. I trimmed away fan leaves that were around any buds I left to help get it a better air circulation. I also dosed what was left of this one with neem oil. I have a good week of dry weather ahead it looks like so I am going to cross my fingers. If worse comes to worse and I lose these few girls I at least have one single beauty far away from all of these that is perfectly healthy so I'll get smoke out of my summer at the very least.

This rot is kind of brown and gunky but not actually wet. I can't tell if the gunky is the gunky resin that's all over the bud. This bud is so damned sticky I could repair wooden furniture with it. The rot also doesn't smell bad at all like some posts I've read when I was trying to find information about it. If it does smell, the gnarly bud smell is over powering it big time to where you can't smell the rot.

I can go back in 3 days. I will see how the 4 ladies are doing up there and if things got worse or spread to the others despite the neem oil, I might just take them all down.

This has been the wettest spring and summer in the 25 years I've lived in the part of the country. Its just been incredible.

i just noticed this shit yesterday myself, its like buds turning brown and fuzzy, when i went to touch them they just like ... melted into nothingness.... it was rather disturbing..

anyway would hydrogen peroxide help at all?

I've had the same problem lately, I have been trimming all the rot off and hoping for the best. One thing I do, is clean off my punners with alcohol so I don't cross contaminate. I got hit hard this week with the wind too. Had a few broken branches so had a chance to sample, it's sweet. Just hope I can let whats left go a few more weeks.

Help, some of my bud stems have worms in them with a whitish powdery substance. I have been trimming away those buds and I have what I think is mold. Should I harvest before it spreads too far?
