Bud rot...to panic or not to panic

Hello all. 2nd year beginner here. I live in NY and humidity seems to alway be 90%. I have been battling bud rot and I'm wondering what you all would do. Cut off branch and let plant continue? Cut out rot and chop plant? I'm well into flower and the plants in question have mostly milky tricome. Have seen some, very little, amber.

I chopped one 6 days ago
I chopped one today
2 others I've been removing branch that has rot and letting continue

Thanks for reading/reply

Definitely cut off the moldy buds and hope the smaller buds don't get moldy. Humidity can not get over 60%. More fans and air movement will help.

Also spray with antifungal like potassium bicarbonate. It's a bad year for humidity here in Illinois too. I believe I am upping my game and adding Cease to my regimen.
Normally botrytis isn't a problem here until mid to late September or even October. But this year it seems to be getting going early. So I'm concerned enough to spend a little more for a good biological.

I cut at least two inches below the bud rot, discard the bad parts and parts touched by the bad parts. Mist hydrogen peroxide on the cut and clippers, move on the next area of rot and repeat the process. After I have cut out all the bud rot, I will triple wash the salvageable part(usually not ripe yet) and then dry and cure that separate and carefully making sure no more bud rot appears.

I will keep a close eye on the affected plants and do the same thing if it pops up again.

I let the rest of the plant finish. I used to get so sad and panic when I found it! But now I have a system and I am trying different ways of preventing the bud rot from happening. It has mostly been happening in my outdoor grows where I have less control of the conditions. Every season I think I am preventing it and every season outdoors I get it one way or another. This year the weather was really weird in my area. I am hoping some of my methods of prevention will work on at least some of my plants. But my clones definitely got it and they are almost done so earlier harvest yet still bud rot…. i am getting better at dealing with it than preventing it….

Thanks for you experiences! I'm an outdoor growe. I have a tent for this winter though I am trying to do different things after last year as well. I check multiple times a day and try to stay on top of each plant. 1st plant yielded 126.4g so im happy, not overly but it could have been worse. I have not practiced LST or topping so I am the xmas tree man. I figure I should get good at basics before I start changing shapes
