I'm not sure how well that'd work outside...if the humidity is to high add a couple more circulating fans and really move that air around .
cut rotted parts off .
Chop out everything that looks infected, plus a little.
Two things may be happening.
1. Too much moisture, and the buds are rotting. A product that can help this is Mycostop and I can't think of the other product right now. These products have bacteria that fights mold, but it's all about leaf biology. It probably wont stop an outbreak, but it should help prevent future outbreaks.
2. Caterpillars. When a caterpillar eats through a bud it poops and infects the buds. Catterpillars are the number one reason I get bud rot on my plant. Check out safer brand caterpillar killer product. I have used it late into flower with no effect on taste.
In future grows, you may want to raise your K levels in flower. When your K levels are higher, seldom do you get mold issues. A great way to raise your K levels and help build up strong plants is using ksil products like ProTect silica.
Hope this helps and your harvest gets saved. Good luck.

What a bummer Roy. I hate when that happens
Has it been humid lately? Are you sure its not worms?
Bulldogs post is a good one...
Inspect all your buds and cut out the ugly parts.
look for worms and their poop.
Here is a link to some excellent info

i dont see any poop.... ive been dealing with lost buds because of those guys and it looks similar but theres no poop. so probably bud rot
I'm not sure how well that'd work outside...
Roy, don't use the DE on the buds, it's not a good thing to inhale.
if outside and looking almost done you might wanna consider chopping early as to avoid a total loss but i really don't know if its just a few buds on a plant or two or the set up - plant count of your garden ..... but better some bud than no bud
Get some Oxidate if you can. You need to treat the mold like an infectious disease. Get yourself a pair of fiskars or something similar and a garbage bag. Sterilize your fiskars, then spray the infected spot with Oxidate to knock down and kill any spores. Cut out the infected area with your sterile scissors and toss it in the garbage bag to contain the spores.. Spray the cut area again to ensure it is clean. Sterilize your fiskars and repeat again.
If your plant is really a month out try to keep it in check rather than pull early. Month premature bud is going to suck. Make sure you are not over-watering. Remove any dead leaves on the inside if you can too. Make note which strain this was as well. Some strains are just mold magnets and have no business being grown outside. First, and most effective line of defense against mold is strain selection.
well like i said depends on number of plants if you got plenty going and only issues with the 2 cut the rot out and keep a eye out , if it gets worse chop if not your good ......
Do what blaze said Roy
If you can't get oxidate, ISO alchol will work too
