Hey Ashley. Have you tried pulling those brown leaves off?

Yes ! I just got done doing that actually, it did not come off easy, i had to pull on it pretty good. I also gently separated the bud in that area to check inside and didnt see any brown.

You my friend are winning.

Haven’t read all so if this is repeat info forgive.

Yes theres a great chance you have spider mites because your outside. I think that’s a regular spiders web. The good news is they’re not the menace they are inside. They are food for so many. Nothing to worry about. Please enjoy your harvest. Sealed rooms and tents dont compare😉

Bud rot can be a pain…as I have now found out twice…I think in early stages could be confused with spider mites. Don’t be afraid to spread the buds apart to look inside. It could save your harvest…once it’s really apparent at a glance it has progressed a lot…IMO.

My outdoor grow last year I didn’t notice till I saw a very obvious grey brown necrotic patch.

My bout indoor recently looked just white whispy…kinda like spider mite webbing but not? Caught early me thinks.

Some clues are one dead ass looking leaf or branch in a seemingly healthy area. Definitely cause for further more in depth inspection.

I was gonna suggest clipping them off but @Bayarealivingsoil beat me to it.
I have those on buds im trimming and i just pull them off.
I thinks it smart to pull them off now tho because they will have time to decay by the time you harvest.
Oh and nice job. We see you

First photo shows ‘thrips’, thinking I see one 30% down on the left side of main seam, along with the dark spots in the first photo.
Lacewings & ladybugs should do the treat, IMHO.

Well, now I have found small caterpillars on it that i plucked off, and one small bud was brown/rotten near bottom of plant, i took it off and inspected the rest, didnt see anymore. its day 60 flower, would it be ok to harvest now? I’m worried for the rest of the plant

Had to toss the plant, found burrow holes from the caterpillars and bud rot inside almost every bud. I give up growing for a while, thx to everyone who tried helping me.

Keep the soil active. Grow stuff till next season. I know the feeling. To lose more than 85% is devastating. If it happened to me 2 years in a row outside i may have quit. But BT will handle the caterpillars. From 85% loss to 5%-15%. These plants wanna grow and serve.
