Got some bad news... Unless you know better. I had this years ago do to several weeks of high humidity and low sun due to storms.
I choped off the bad moldy buds. Soaked them with peroxide and hung them to dry. It was too late. Over the next few days it became apparent that the spores infected the entire plant before I attemted to naturalized the threat.
I peroxide washed the entire plant and harvested. As the buds dried they began to look great. Smokable even. I transferred the buds into my cure jars. Within three days the mold was back with a vengeance. Fuk!!
I ended up making canna oil with the entire yield. The heat seemed to kill the bacteria as I nor anyone else got sick from the butter. The butter seemed to taste and be potent.

That's why I'm saying you think I should cut the whole plant down right now before it spreads?

ASAP. Cut your losses man. I know it's sad, but whats the sense in feeding and wasting time/money on a plant that's just going to be shit?
Get a really dry room and Make some butter or coconut oil out of what you're brave enough to ingest.

Get yourself a thermostat in the mean time, high humidity during flower sucks bro

Bud rot sucks. Usually you'll have trichs at that point and I would chop, cut out the bad spots, wash and throw in the freezer for some bubble hash. You got to act though, the shit multiplies quickly.

You think my good buds will still be fine by the end of today when I get off work and cut them down?
