Bud Rot

Bud rot, or botrytis, is a common fungus many cannabis growers face at some point, especially those who are unfamiliar with controlling humidity and air circulation.

The fungus causes poor water and nutrient delivery to plant leaves and flowers, resulting in death. It’s not only frustrating but has the potential to cause economic disaster after an otherwise successful grow cycle.
