Whatcha think?

normal stalk or bud rot waiting to happen?

Uh oh the more I look at it I'm pretty sure it's mold, underneath a layer of that is green. Anyone notice something similar? Were you able to combat it? I'm a week into flower, still in the stretch phase not really even into flower yet. I'm not sure if it's just a total loss or if able to still be nursed some how....

it looks like algae maybe. spray it with half water, half 3% hydrogen peroxide and see what it does.
and it never hurts to improve circulation. whats the rh in your room? its usually not a problem with proper ventilation and rh control

H2O2 Good idea!

Yea I've doused it in peroxide, I did a big trim to let air in to the center of the plant. And I'm
Gonna get a little personal fan to put at the base of each of my girls. I have a big oscillating fan hitting them both keeping the air mixed up. Box fan for intake. Inline fan and carbon filter exhaust. 150cfm 2 plants 6x6x8. RH has been 45-55

It didn't really fiz like I thought it would but it def loosened it up to make scraping that area possible

So it's possible to still get safe bud out of this?

I have a dehumidifier keeping it at that RH

i think it'll be fine, keep an eye on the humidity and the air flow, the worst thing that can happen is you do have to chop it, no point in jumping the gun

So luckily even after my massive chopping spree, serating the base of the stalk, and bathing the whole plant in peroxide the twins appear to still be alive and well.
