I see no evidence of bud rot. What, specifically, are you concerned with?

The brown stigma’s
Are you foliar feeding? What is all the white stuff on the leaves. If you are spraying / misting the plant I’d strongly recommend stopping.
I don’t see anything that indicates bud rot. Actually I don’t think it is mature / dense enough to have bud rot.

Your plant is doing fine.

I had wpm so I sprayed them. Maybe too much lol
Thanks for the info.
What did you spray them with…just curious. In veg, I’ve used a shotglass of ammonia to a liter spray bottle (it breaks down into nitrogen and will give your plants a boost), also used 50/50 h2o2/h2o, and milk/water at 30/70 ratio when in flower, right up to harvest. I’ve never used Neem (never will either).
Remember, always spray at lights out! And if you’ve had WPM, I’d really recommend a bud wash at harvest.

I used baking soda. Didn’t know I had to wait till lights out. Lesson learned. Lol thanks!

When you harvest it’d be a good idea to do a thorough bud wash.

Do you use regular household ammonia?

yep, nothing fancy. I’ve given them a blast when they’ve looked a little pale before. Nothing a blast of Nitrogen won’t green up!
Of all 3 tho, I find the milk solution works best. And it doesn’t stink.

I am chopping an auto this weekend who’s had a mild case of WPM. I’ve been spraying her a few times per week with a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water to control it. The plant will be getting a bud wash. There are (2) photos in the tent that are just starting to flower and every few days I clips a few leaves off of each that have a spot of WPM on them. What’s the best way to control it or be proactive? Thinking about cleaning the tent after the auto is chopped. Hopefully removing her since I feel she is the source will help get rid of it.
What really works well is milk/water solution sprayed at lights out. A 30% milk, 70% water ratio works well, doesn’t matter whether it’s no-fat, low-fat, or all-fat milk. If your humidity isn’t too high, give them a heavy dose of this. I spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves, rub my hands up and down to make sure the entire leave gets covered. Gives the plant a calcium boost as well!
Cutting leaves off that get a spot or 2 on them isn’t a long-term solution, you’ll eventually run out of leaves! KILL it when you get the chance! Trust me, have had it for the last several grows, I will finally get a chance this summer to rid it from my tent. Just gotta wait until 2 more plants finish!

Thanks. Do you continue to use the milk/water throughout the flowering? Such as a weekly treatment? Does the tent smell like spoiled milk?
The pictures below show spots that don’t appear to be WPM (maybe they are, just not sure) I’m definitely sure I have/had it on some of the undercarriage leaves.
Yep. It gets a bit messy, so I’ll alternate between milk and peroxide sprays. Just don’t freak out if you give it a milk spray and then a week later you give it a hydroxide spray…it’ll bubble a bit and drip white! Perfectly normal, just first time it’s like WTF??
The second pic looks like WPM just starting. The edges of your leaves are yellowing, that’s a deficiency possibly, altho my Dutch Treat plants seem to have that look too. Or it could be nute burn…your tips are browning a bit. Hard to pinpoint without knowing your feeding/watering schedule and your numbers. Every once in a while when I think about it, I will give mine a watering of Epsom salts (lucky if I remember to do this 2 times during their growth! LOL).
Thanks. I definitely had a deficiency at one time. I was watering for the 1st few months with tap water that had been left out a week or so and the PH was way high which locked out some nutes. I got a ph/tds pen several weeks ago and am watering around 6.5 PH and monitoring the run off. Currently around 1100. I have given a cup of water here and there with Epsom salt during some waterings
