like i said above, a tiny bud had bud rot. this is my only plant and it looks so tasty. i want to give it 2 more weeks, ill post pics later im already late for work. this is an emergency
i cut it off the infected part and threw it away. it was damp looking, and was brown and had furry stuff when i pulled it open, idk how i didnt see it earlier :-|
do you think i should chop down the hole plant early, will it form more rot? some of the trichs are starting to turn milky i really want to wait. alot of the leaves are dying, it is running out, i stopped feeding it a couple weeks ago.
please any help is greatly appreciated
ill get pics up later, i dont see any other rot as of now. i hope theres no more
its in a pot and ive been bringing it inside at night to avoid this problem. UGH

this plant smells like straight up cat urine, i know theres a strain called "cat piss" maybe i some how got that strain, but my whole downstairs of my house smells like cat pee it kinda sucks lol, and my cat didnt pee any where... the smell goes away during the day when i take the plant outside.
psh thanks for the help

have you been using blackstrap mollasses? 4 weeks is pretty early to stop feeding, especially when your trich havent even turned all milky yet. Just cut the peice and see what happens and make sure you fix any humidity problems if you have one, when you bring them inside at night do you have a fan blowing on the plants circulating the air?

What I think dark was getting at is that the furry stuff inside your bud is,"bud mold", and it comes usually the last 2-3 weeks before harvest because of humidity problems and air that isn't being circulated causing too much moisture around your buds due too vast transpiration. Get a fan blowing on your buds and lower the humidity to 40% if possible.

thats what ive been thinking too, oh well ive learned from my mistake. i fed it a fraction of what it should have so it isnt so hungry now

Why did you take the fan leaves off, don't you know they store the nutes for the plant and help produce photosynthesis that helps your plants. That's also the problem

i didnt "take them off" they fell off, which is normal to an extent this late into flowering, especially with sativa, but they have been dying at a crazy rate. like i said i stopped feeding two weeks ago but they shouldnt be dying at a rate like this. look at the albums on my sig and you'll know what im talking about.
the 7 weeks album has plent of leaves, but then look at my 10 week sinto flower album and you can see the crazy difference of how many leaves it lost
it also got white flies but they are all gone.

Your biology is correct but he didn't specify what the co2 ppm were and if it's above normal then you don't need as many leaves as you think. I also thought the same thing until I used co2 and it totally changes everything. I wouldn't say that taking a few fan leaves off is a problem, actually if it has mold on it you want to pull it because it decreases the chances of the mold spores a-sexualy reproducing in the right conditions.

so should i actually pull it, if it was mold. it had white stuff that looked like funnelweb spider web, and a blackened damp bud, it was a small one on a lower branch, i just took it right off, and it was in the center of the bud. idk wtf it was it happened fast, i regret not getting a pic i threw it away asap hoping not to spread it. all is well now, i hope nothing else spreads and no other buds become infected. its look fire tho.
sry i cant get detailed pics my camera is a 3.2 megapixel from like 2001,

no.. just because im at week 10 does not mean the plant is done... it sativa it can go up to twelve
trichomes are just now starting to turn milky, still 80% clear trichs

just watch it close, i made the same mistake before when bringing in my outside plants and i actually had it in like 3 dif places just starting so i quick snipped that shit off and any part of the bud that was touching the fuzzy mold part directly and i didnt have anymore problems with it. mine looked like it started where a caylx cluster or leaf stem broke(or the leaf died normally and wasnt pulled out of the bud cuz it was so dense inside i didnt see it right away) and the part that died started to rot on 2 of the spots.
