White Cotton in Bud... 1-2 weeks from harvest... What is it?
I was inspecting my buds today and looked really close at my main bud and noticed a white cotton substance INSIDE the bud. I tried my best to get pictures... I don't see any bugs anywhere... It's only on the MAIN bud... I'm not sure if it's a spider of some sort, or I'm just so inexperienced with growing weed that it's a normal part of the plant, I have no clue... That's why I'm asking...
Also, I know about the nute burn... that's been taken care of, just need help with this white cotton looking crap.

It could be mold is it on just one or multiple?
Just on one bud, the main top bud... only in one section too... like a 1x2 inch section... the other parts of the bud I can't see in them deep enough to see if theres more of this cotton stuff... I was thinking of inspecting more, picking out whatever I find and then focusing a small fan on those spots... wouldn't that help reduce moisture that the mold needs...
Temps are never above 80 and humidity is a constant 45%.
I dont really see cotton but those look done.

Yes i would try that. And see what you come up with and let us know. Maybe get some out and snap a pic of it for us?Originally Posted by sudodaemon
spidermite webs, and those have at least another week to finish
Spidermites? Now with that wouldn't I see stuff on the fan leaves? I remember hearing about black dots... I see none of that, and I used 100x magnification on a leaf around the affected area and saw nothing.
it is bud mold...Here is a link I found with google...I just had some pop up myself...I got lazy during this last veg cycle and didn't train any of my plants and then I just hacked their top half off and stuck them in flowering...it started on one, and then moved plant to plant to plant...I probably only lost a couple of grams with the whole thing...because as soon as I saw a spot I took the plant down, and the first plant was spotted early by chance so I got lucky...it was just like a spot the size of my finger maybe...but you can easily tell where it is and where it isn't...you can't use anything that has the mold on it to smoke...but I would feel alright using it to make QWISO...I wouldn't do bubble hash or anything like that even...perhaps make it into butter...but I don't even know about that...I mean I won't eat moldy food, so why would I eat moldy buds in food?
I guess it is up to you what to do...as I said I was pretty close to harvest but it moved plant to plant to plant so keep an eye out and toss any bud that was moldy, or touching moldy bud...I feel alright still using the not moldy buds off of the plants that did get moldy spots, although perhaps I shouldn't...I don't know...I need to scrub my tent again as well now that we are talking about this...makes my weed feel dirty

it isn't bugs at all it is bud mold...looks kinda wispery feathery like little fog towards the inside of the bud...if you pull off the part that is all wispy it will be like squishy...and you can see like dots in the hairs that are easily identifiable as mold once you really look at it...I can see it easy in the pics...

that is how it goes at first...but then over and over and over you will find it if you have more plants..even and apparently especially if you remove that plant...then the next plant will get it..at least that is how it went for me...but I will kill every goddamn one of these plants before I let whatever hard work I have into it sit there and get moldier and moldier...Imma get what I can and cut my losses...
