These conditions create a damp microclimate inside dense flowers, which allows Botrytis spores to germinate and thrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can a plant recover from bud rot?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>A plant can be saved, but the infected parts cannot recover and must be removed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal is to surgically cut away all the rot and then correct the environmental conditions (lower humidity, increase airflow) to stop the fungus from spreading to healthy parts of the plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Is it safe to smoke bud that had rot on it?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>No. We strongly advise against it.

It's better to be safe and discard any affected material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can bud rot spread to other plants?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely. Botrytis produces thousands of airborne spores that can easily travel to neighboring plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why it's critical to kill your fans, work carefully when removing infected material, and sanitize your tools and grow space afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Are some cannabis strains more resistant to bud rot?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Yes.
