Help! Check on the crop today, and saw that one of the cola's of my Pineapple Skunk was more brown and discolored then the other colas on the plant, plus the sugar leaves were all curled up on the cola. I've taken 2 sample pictures of the suspect, and 1 picture of what looks like a healthy cola on the same plant. I've examined all the other buds and it seems like this is the only cola exhibiting this issue. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If this is the onset of bud rot, what is an aggressive course of action? Isolate? Remove? Treat? I have NO experience with this issue. The last week and change has been a battle to control humidity as it wont stop fucking raining on the east coast. I'm purchasing a dehumidifier this weekend as I've had to keep the A/C on in that room to keep the % down with cool air. That's a costly method as you can imagine.

And yes, I'm having a Cal/Mag issue.

Today is Day 44 of Flower.

Yes, they are the top colas, this particular plant has about 6 tops due to topping. This is the only bud that changed color like that, everyone else is orange/white and the sugar leaves aren't burnt looking or curled like that.... Very weird.

Sorry for the pics, iPhone flash.. But yes! All my ladies are super frosty and are having explosive growth... Just battling humidity and need to get a new oscillating fan tomorrow as I have a temporary in there that is too big haha..

If you can easily pull out those bud leaves then its rot!!!


Looks suspicious to me due to the colour of those cola leaves.

That looks like one of my tops that got too close to the light for too long. As it tries to repair itself, it starts looking strange in comparison to other tops.

It looks like a calcium deficiency. The rust spots on the leaves, the retarded growth, and premature senescence are symptoms of calcium deficiency.

In fruits, calcium deficiency causes fruits to be small and deformed with black necrotic spots.

I'd also harvest the buds that senesced early even if it's early. (The ones with completely turned and retracted pistols).
