That plant is kind of a mess- it looks like you've got PM going on too. I certainly don't envy you, but hope you're able to salvage something
Have you ever used
Sargassum
I washs up on the beach here in SoFlo I can get bags of it
Not sure I was able to save some lots of white trikes some amber

Any seaweed you can get by the bucket for free, grab it.
They all have slightly different benefits. That's high in carrageenan and chitosan.

Bud rot “can” start from the poop of a moth that’s laid eggs on the stem and then the plant covers it with a bud. By the time you see bud rot on the exterior of a bud, it’s worked up and down the stem.

My experience has been that the mold caused by caterpillar poop is localized rather than systemic, like typical botrytis

If you grow outdoors I would refer to the thread on budworms. It's my personal experience that you have to treat with BT prior to flower and throughout the season. If not they will be attacked by a variety of caterpillars.
Also the name of the game is to keep your plants as dry as possible for something living outdoors , especially once your hanging flower. I have a massive yard tent. You can go smaller. Get creative if need be.
At this point I would remove the dead fan leaves. That stuff will get moist overnight and be wet through the morning. It's okay to defoliate dead matter once your that far along in the process.
Once chopped you need to go through that with a fine tooth comb. There will be damage not visible until you peel back the onion so to speak.

Sorry, Monterey BT. Do a search for it. You spray it on the entire plant. It's not a pesticide. It's specifically for killing worms and caterpillars. When the moth eggs hatch on your plant, the tiny worm will take one small bite, the BT spores will turn them brown and fall off the plant.
In my region moths lay eggs from early July to late October. So I have to treat my plants weekly until harvest.
Caterpillar will absolutely destroy plants. Heavy eaters, they tend to shit black grit in the nodes, urinate.
The key is to pre treat the plants before the eggs are laid and throughout the season. Without BT I wouldn't even be able to grow outdoors.
