What if bud rot is found? Once bud rot has been detected, the grower should isolate infected buds by removing them from the grow room immediately and harvesting the infected colas, followed by a rapid dry of the harvested colas. Take immediate steps to reduce room humidity. Afterwards, the entire crop should becarefully inspected for infection and damage. The grower may want to harvest early if more than one rotting cola has been found. Spores may have spread and are germinating deep within other colas. Can I salvage bud rot-infected colas? Yes. Remove the infected colas from the main room, Trim out the infection (Trim more than you can see Botrytis often infects adjacent tissues) and quick-dry them. Re-inspect buds they should not smell moldy.
