Looks like you have a little botrytis setting in on the second picture. carefully remove the affected buds and do not touch anything else you will spread it. disinfect your tools with bleach water. A solution would be to raise the temps add air circulation and decrease humidity. Looks like you have bug damage on one of the leaves, maybe it munched that bud and killed it.

So i should just cut off all the buds that look like that? Seems simple enough

shit man that happened fast, have you taken care of the caterpillars yet? i would definatly remove those branches and have a good check around in your main bud sites for more mold. How big is the differance in humidy from where you were growing before? you could get another fan in there if you havent got enough already to help in the meantime

Yes cut off the bad spots very carefully, dunk the scissors in bleach water between cuttings, If you touch it dip your fingers in the bleach water and dry them off every time including the scissors. That mold will spore out and spread with the wind. Do not add a fan until it's all gone. You need to change the environment so that shit wont grow (air circulation higher temps lower humidity). If that stuff goes airborne it will kill the whole crop. No joke when I see botrytis on my outdoor crop I harvest everything.

Yea the caterpillars are gone.. and it went from about 40% to like 70% it's at 50% right now.. i cut all those branches off that had the black on it but when i brought them under a regular light they didn't look as bad as i thought.. its fine tho because these are my trial run for each genes clones
Im gonna post on my YouTube so you all can check it out

Disinfect everything try to save the healthy parts good luck that fucking suck to get hit like this 6 weeks in. It's not foxtailing that only happens to buds when it's way to close and typically when growing under a grow light that's to close

If you have or had caterpillars then that's probably what caused it to mold. They munch holes in the buds and that kills it then you get botrytis. I would keep that humidity at 50%, get some air on them and look for more caterpillars.

I know it sucks dude. My first indoor grow had that shit and I lost a few oz's so I bought a dehumidifier. Before I started growing indoors if someone were to tell me I would be spending $5000 a year to do it, I would've called them a liar. I guess I'm getting off easy compared to some other people. When you get it dialed in it'll get better, good luck.
