Some of the buds on my plant are drying up

So one or two of the lower branches have seemed to dry up. The color has changed making the buds a light brown color and the smell has changed on those branches. Last night i cut off one of them. all the other branches/buds are still green and fine. The light brown buds on the plant come off like nothing and i smoked some bowls of it and got pretty stoned, but im going to dry/cure the light brown buds i didnt smoke.\
So why are a few of the lower buds changing color and crumbling off??

look for the skinny one with out any leaves

you can see this one better

ok i dont know how to post pictures

The only time I've had buds turn brown while on the plant was with mold/bud rot. When it happened, the little pin leaves that stick out of the bud shriveled up, the bud started turning brown, and the inner stem of the bud was dark gray.
I hope, for your sake, that it's something else.

awwhh shit dude that sounds exactly like whats happening..any solution to this??

da lil shriveled up bud on left wit no leaves

so should i go ahead an cut off the stem thats turning color?
what stress/shock will that cause my plant?

Yeah, if it's mold, cut it off right away. It can spread pretty easily. Your plant should be fine, as far as stress goes.

How much time left? You need to get the humidity way down the rest of the time. (Edit: just realized from the pic that it's outside... guess you can't do much about humidity. In that case, just watch out for any more signs, and cut it out ASAP.)

(BTW, where did your leaves go?)

o ya some one told me i had to clip the waterleaf so i thought that was the big leaves so i cut em off and ended up blazing them like a week later..but ya i think i fucked up by cutting em off..but o well

o also how do i know when theres mold on the budz

it wont smell good if its mold.. and dont smoke buds with mold its harmful..
as for the fan leaves that u cut off.. not good my friend.. the plants need them to grow.. the more leaves.. the faster the plant grows..
and smoking fan leaves is not a very good idea either..

the fan leaves will die when they are ready to drop. keep them on man

i had my salmon creek do that it was hella hot for a couple days and stressed it to a crispy twig
