It's a little hard to tell to be honest. Are the temps dropping at night?
Be sure to give the plants a light shake when it rains, shake off as much water as possible.

Keep an eye on it over the next few days and see what colour it turns. If it goes gray then yes.. it is.

were these cats recently moved outdoors?
i had taken some flowering girls from a friends indoor (under a 600hps)
and threw them on my porch to finish flowering
after 2 days of real sun i noticed buds turning purplish, (i was thinking suntan)
but they went mostly green again

hope someone can give you an answer and not answer with a question

[jojodrodoe]

they have been outside since day 1...

i read that the fungus spreads rapidly and i dont want it to move to all the other buds if bud rot is the actual problem..

somebody please help

Well if you must, you could break a flowering top open where the colour is appearing. You'll be able to tell if it's brownish or gray inside. If it is mold and you're seeing it on the outside then you should see it on the inside as well. I would still give it another day though and simply monitor it. If it seems to spread quickly then you know what you need to do .

Best of luck, hope it's just a genetic thing or a temp thing.

so brown and grey are the signs?

not purple?

I believe so, you're looking for a "dead" look as well, if it appears that it's simply the pigment of the calyx then that's probably all it is.

Do you know the genetics?
Has it been getting cooler over the past week?
How long has it been flowering?

Purple and grey can look pretty similar i guess but that appears more purple than grey.

Keep an eye on it and see how it goes, you'll know in the next day or two for sure.

its just badseed...

and yes it has been getting cooler in the mornings and nights.

its been flowering for 6 weeks. its one of three plants

but the others dont seem to have any purple on them..
