Looks shitty but not bud rot looks dried out should be smokeable I had a strain do that once my guess was a pH issue or maybe nutrient problem buds just started dying it was strange had a few other strains that did fine in the same environment. Bud rot will be inside the bud looks all gray an nasty you will know it when you see it

okay thanks! as long as it’s smokeable whew . Should I try to moisten them with orange peel? Some are so dry it feels like being pricked lmao.

looks completely leached,dead and already started to dry. Could be rot on those real brown fan if you trace them back into the bud and see brown mushiness or grey web.

I don't personally like orange peel adds a weird smell and flavor plus it can cause mold pretty easily if you leave it in too long. I like to use a small piece of corn tortilla to add moisture no smell and I've forgotten them in the bag for a whole day without any mold issues. When I say small piece I mean like half of a corn tortilla for a lb of bud I try to leave it in for like 6 hours then take it out do that like 2 or 3 times a week when it's to the moisture level you like cure the buds for another week with no tortilla and you're all good

I don't see bud rot.
Kind of looks like broad mites.

You need to give more details also

Details? All there is is dead ass dry leafs . Bud feels dry like a tumbleweed. He said he hardly fed and watered them. No good lighting. I can’t see mites on the plant but then again the leaves are so dead when I try to look close they fall off the plant.

Details as in how did this happen.
If it is broad mites you probably won't see them but they will eat the next batch also.

Hopefully it was something other than broad mites

Cut them up cure and smoke. their too far to try and recover. So my advice would be chop em Cure if they are not to dry and do em up. That actually look done.

when you cut those down, get rid of that soil, clean your tent really well, then COAT everything in a good pesticide three time over 6 days before you put anymore plants in that room. i'm not sure what caused that, but broad mites are a possibility, and that's the minimum you need to do to get rid of the little bastards

if it is mites, that bud will snap and pop like a bowl of rice crispies

Look real close use a magnifying Glass or a Microscope and if you see them on the underside of the leave. Ya may not want to smoke it, I few won't taste too bad but a bunch isn't Protein. But if not do what I suggested first. Good luck.
Let us know what you find.
