It got mites a about 3 weeks into flower but I treated them with some smc and now I can't see any on the leaves so I just assumed that they are gone

I have 2 plants in a 4×4 tent so I have one in each corner that's the only way the can fit with out pressing against the sides.
You make the point. Spores of everything are flying around everywhere all the time. A spore needs the right conditions. The corner of Humid Avenue and Stagnant Street is the perfect intersection to setup shop.

just try to keep the leaves always rustling even air movement and exchanging stale air is important to keeping the spores or mites even from spreading easily. mold occurs in high humidity and low air
The dead leaves in the background could be symptom of the mites.

I have two 7 inch oscillating fans in there that don't do much, they don't make the leaves rustle but when I put a bigger oscillating fan in there they look like they are going to blow over so I took it out. Is there a way around this? Thanks

Can you post more pics? I've dealt with mold on a few occasions and never seen anything that looked quite like that... as others mentioned it almost looks like webs.
Either way, I'd toss the whole plant. I get that it sucks but especially since you have another plant, you don't want it to spread.
As for water curing, assuming it is mold, my understanding is it won't remove all of the spores. The worst part is unless you have access to a lab you'd never know if you were successful, but you'd find out if you weren't real quick if someone had a reaction to smoking the spores. Not worth it IMO. Just grow more.

Holy crap you have so much necrosis inside of your buds! No lie when i reveg my plants after i am done in flower all the old buds die / dry out and they look just like the inside buds of your cola
((((( your buds r dying and drying out from the looks of it.Get a jewlers loop or whatever and check the trychombs if you have the majority milky white with small ammounts clear you can harvest know but if all the trychomb spheres are still empty id wait it out sadly or throw it all away

Turn the more powerful fan to the wall and shoot the air off the wall and back at your plants.

Thanks for the new pics, definitely bud rot. The brown spots (necrosis) on the bud is a sure sign of it.
You could chop it now (I wouldn't bother with the flush, aside from the fact that I don't believe in flushing to finish plants anyways, you need to get that plant out of the tent NOW) and try to seperate it but there's far more mold there than you see... guaranteed your just gonna keep finding more mold as it dries. That plant of fried too. I'm assuming you've had a few issues during the grow.
Again, I understand the drive to try to save some of your hard work, but sometimes it just makes sense to cut your losses. Get the spores out, clean the tent and try to save the other plant. And make sure you wear gloves and change your clothes after handling the moldy plant otherwise you'll carry the spores on you. That shit is virulent.

Ok , but do you not think I should flush first? Let me know, thankyouHoly crap you have so much necrosis inside of your buds! No lie when i reveg my plants after i am done in flower all the old buds die / dry out and they look just like the inside buds of your cola

Dang skippy in hydro(not coco) why flush? There are better ways of breaking down sugars and starches than depriving your plants of nutrients.

Nonsense.
Depends on the extent of it.
If it's a few buds, yes cut them off and there is a possibility to salvage some weed.
He may not need to toss the entire plant as you say. I've picked rot of bud and ended up happy with the final product through experience.
These new members eh, been here a few weeks constantly and always first to post a "solution".
Sorry but notice this a lot and it gets fucking annoying reading nonsense.

It all depends on your media since i grow in hydro(not coco) on the last day i run a flushing agent through my rez for 6 hours than dump all that and fill with straight water for the last 6 hours of lights on.
