This plant is getting close just a couple weeks to go and looking so good I’m petrified about bud rot cuz it nailed a plant last year late in the grow. I have 4 fans in there, temp is around 70-75 and RH 40. What do you think?

You're fine. Humidity causes rot in all things. Yours is low.
Plant looks great!

Do you have an idea what caused it last time?

Thanks! Yes that was a summer grow and things got way too hot. Winter seems much easier for co trolling temps.

Looking nice!
It's normal to be concerned about rot but at 40% humidity I wouldn't have too much concern about it, I can get 47/48% on a good day, 52/56% being more the norm, i've not seen rot in years.

Lack of cleanliness can cause your biggest fear friend.

Clean this shit up before it becomes your problem.

Moist and dirty is a recipe for disaster

4 fans, why do you not have any down low ? Thats where all the humidity is. Clean that up , then put 2 of your fans right on the floor.

Even if its draining off somewhere, that material is a reservoir of stuff growing underneath.
Black mold will live between the layers of nylon and mylar, move up every time it gets damp again.

Just put a tent flood tray on cinder blocks and plywood, drain tube off to res/drain, or wet vac out.
These are so much easier than saucers or low bins.
