I had a White Widow get bud rot this year already

I cut it out and began bringing her inside under a fan at night.
A week later she had more spots, so I chopped her down. Cut the bud rot out and smoke her.

Not much you can do if it's not in a bucket...it will spread like the H1M1 Flu
If you can supply a dry place and or sun, you might be able to keep it dry and stop the spread. It is the nature of the beast, outdoors!!!
Good luck bro!!!

My lot got rained on overnight one week ago. I shook off the water and tied up the heavily budded branches. Today I found bud rot in my prized main cola and in two large buds on another. Fortunately I caught it in time and am prepared for harvest if necessary since they are only about one week out. I learned a lesson today; should have kept them dryer.

Me too. My Mango got rained on once, but the top buds were 8-10" long and so dense, the moisture stayed in there. I saw rot on one big one and chopped all big ones. I found a couple more with rot. I trimmed them, hung on hangers with a lot of moving air inside and they are fine. Well, except for being 2 weeks early, but I could have lost lots more if I didn't see that one bad one the first day.I lost half a zip to rot. last year, it was 2 elbows lost to rot.

My outdoor girls are in containers and very portable. Next year I will move them inside the garage when it rains!
