Bud Rot Assessment

What strain are you growing? Is it Auto, Fem or Reg? The cultivars are listed in the imgur photo descriptions.
Are you growing Indoor or outdoor? outdoor
Are you using nutrients? Which ones? How much? Yes. 1 tsp/5gal drip hydro camg and 1tsp/gal general hydroponics FloraNova Bloom.

Hello and thank you in advance,

Here is a link to a photo gallery of my six plants: imgur.com.

The reason for the post is that I’ve noticed what I believe to be “bud rot” on
most if not all of my plants to varying degree. I admit I wasn’t paying very
much attention to humidity. Also, for context I live in San Diego, CA. Since
I noticed the issue maybe a week ago I did prune a bunch of fan leaves to hopefully
increase airflow and I did chop off some of the most egregious rot sites in the hopes
that the problem could be stopped. The plants are in a part of my yard that gets a
good breeze and I don’t water from the top. I believe the autoflowers are maybe only
a week or so away from a potential harvest with the other two plants being a bit
further out from harvest.

1. I would like to know how bad everyone thinks this is as I’ve read many say
   to just toss the whole plant in cases like this.
2. I would like to know if anyone has any solutions to salvage what can be. At
   one point I thought I came across some chemical process to isolate or extract
   the oil from the plant matter and the mold.

Thank you again and I’m happy to provide any additional information if needed.

Sorry about your issues my friend.
Welcome to 420magazine.
If you can cut away all the rot you can still harvest what remains.
I would recommend bud washing though.
You can make a spray of citric acid in water gram/litre I believe.
That will kill any spores on the rest of your crop.
Do it weekly until you harvest.
SNS @Sierra Natural Science also makes a product I’ve used that works well.
SNS DC it’s called. I believe it’s made with an oil.
Any pics?

Thrips

You are introducing a fungus to cure a mildew problem?? What is the name of this fungus? Or, did you mean that you are getting a 'fungicide' which is a totally different thing. Its a bio fungicide called aq 10
