So I got it, right at the last week of harvest. Indoor grow.
I noticed it only on 1 plant last week, I took that plant out the tent and cut off the noticeable bits. Then started drying it.
Harvested the last 2 plants in the tent today and saw a few leaves right near the buds with more, aaaaaaargh.
Will it get worse as I try dry it? I've cut out where I can see it, but I'm sure you never get it all, then it just comes back anyway and worse while it dries in a dark room.
Should I just try freeze it now and make bubble hash?
Or is it mildew not worth the risk and toss the lot?

So close to the finish line!!!!

I made bubblehash out of moldy buds once it was awful and I swear I could taste the mold.

I have heard others say they used different methods & it was good @Gnick

Think it was to do with washing the buds with peroxide.
 
It will not spread as the plant dries, it only grows on living tissues. If it was really only on a couple leaves, I wouldn't worry about it. With a scope you can see it on the buds. I was told a peroxide bud wash will kill any active spores but I haven't done it myself.The main concern is fixing the environmental problem. Look into a sulfar burner to kill any spores in your area. Invest in a dehumidifier to keep you humidity 60 or below. Make your your checking your humidity during lights off, that's when it skyrockets.
 
Hi here are some pics of some buds from last year. Opened the jar and they look powdery. I think it's mold, don't think it can be anything else.

No that's a real bad un. I think my ones are not right. Different smell to them.

Did u bust one up, and still have that smell.?
Mine doesnt have that wow smell while in the jar, but bust a nug and it's all good. I keep it stored around 50-60 ° F in complete darkness, so maybe it's because the terps aren't volitizing, and we don't smell it as much.
 
When i opened a moldy jar once, it like poofed out some airborned spores and smelled of mothballs almost. And i moved it around and shook it and jar clouded up. I tossed it
