Early Bud Rot Signs: The Single-Leaf Warning

One brown leaf in the middle of an otherwise healthy cannabis cola can be the first visible warning of bud rot. Botrytis often develops inside dense flower before any obvious surface mold appears.

This thirty-second diagnosis shows exactly where to inspect and what the concealed damage looks like when the leaf is traced back to its base.

If the leaf pulls free with brown, collapsed tissue at the stem, stop and inspect the whole cola before anything else in the room.
