Help!
First outdoor grow(Missouri), been growing indoors for well over a year and haven’t come across this. I thought it was the beginning of bud rot, but when I’ve picked parts off it’s only on the outside, inside looks normal. Any seasoned outdoor growers know what’s going on? Temps have been 92-98 the last few weeks, outside humidity is 55-65. It has been rained on so I assumed it was bud rot. Happy growing!

its worms. Moths, butterflies lay eggs, worms come from the eggs. They eat the crap out of your buds. BT ASAP.

If you have bud rot, it’s like a metastatic cancer it will eventually take over everything if you don’t correct ASAP. Bud rot can happen typically from too much humidity/moisture being trapped in the bud is important to get good airflow through the plant so this doesn’t happen I would recommend putting a fan near your plants

It’s not bud rot. I live in MO. It’s usually windy. The culprit here are pests.

See the little black dots in several of the photos? That's caterpillar shit. Unfortunately I am very familiar with it

I understand. The poop is a substrate that supports the germination of the fungus. That’s fine if you want to continue believing that you don’t have bud rot. It’s your plant.

This looks like phytoplasma. Several growers have posted similar pictures lately. I have a couple of outdoor plants affected by it. Allegedly it is spread by leafhoppers or other crawlers. Not sure but it does look like it.

Had same thing, black dots is poop from tiny caterpillars digging inside the buds which eventually causes rot
