Okay thanks i chopped the one bud and looked closer i didnt see it anywhere else i didnt defoliate because they where autos and i should've so will the rest of the plant be okay if i dont see anything? I was also wondering if its possible to clean the bud in an h202 solution and turn the bud into extract?
I'm generally opposed to using moldy bud in any way. It could be washed in regular water and made into a clean bubble hash which could be smoked, turned into rosin if you have a press, used to make edibles, tinctures, or oils. That being said, if its just the one bud that is infected then it will certainly not be worth the hours of effort it will require to do so.
As for the rest of the plant, chances are there is mold in places you cant see. The best way to mitigate this is to go straight to chopping the buds off the branches and further breaking down the bigger buds to their smallest individual pieces. This will reveal any hidden mold while also removing favorable conditions for further growth. While not generally the most ideal drying method, in this scenario it would do more good than harm to have a fan blowing directly on the drying buds until they start to get a little crispy.
I know its tough to lose a bud, no one wants this to happen, be strong. I think this bud would just want you to move on, take care of its fellow buds, and be happy. If you chop now you only lose any potential increase in yield/thc that might occur between this point in time and when you would otherwise harvest. Based on the pictures I would estimate this amount to be pretty small as everything looks very mature. If you continue to let the plants grow you risk the mold spreading to the rest of the plant/plants and potentially losing everything.
