Fuzzy white mold starting.

On 1 of the lower buds I noticed some white fuzzy mold starting. Not sure what to do. I know the spores of mold are all over the plant by now. Should I try spraying with hydrogen peroxide or just harvest this plant. It’s only about 6 weeks into flowering which sucks because it only had a few more weeks left. But I don’t want more buds to get moldy now. Not sure what to do. I’ve tried to snip leafs around it to avoid contact but I know it’s airborne so just gave up with snipping.5BF83D1D-1A80-4246-867A-5C6313195B52.jpeg
I’ve since just got rid of that entire cola. I don’t see any mold on any other parts of the plant. I’ve added more ventilation and airflow but is this bud going to be safe even if I don’t physically see mold? I’m sure there has to be “spores” all around.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you are.. this morning i noticed two small white mold dots on one fan leaf blade and I'm on my finally week, i wanted to flush but now I'm thinking i may forgo the flush and cut. Mean while i added a large fan to move more air. I know i let the RH get a little high but its hard when we've had high humidity lately.

The other thought i had was to apply some Green Cleaner, which I've used before for pests but saw it was for white powder mildew. It may be an option for you.

What is the rh of your grow space? More ventilation and circulation will certainly help, but if your humidity is out of control you'll find yourself fighting an uphill battle.

Low to mid 70’s... I have bring it down.
I only have one dehumidifier and it’s in another grow space.

Then buy another dehumidifier. Humidity that high will most definitely cause mold.

FWIW I didn't see any mold in that picture, but it was also a terrible picture.

When I get mold in usually alerted when I see a dead crispy sugar leaf. Upon touching it it immediately pulls out and if I try and open the bud up where the leaf is it opens easy and has mold inside. I will go a few bud sites below and snip and throw away. Shutting off circulation fans when doing this is a good precaution.

Mold spores are everywhere just waiting for the right conditions to make them take hold.

Only way to prevent is putting HEPA or MERV 13 at least filters on your intake and using clean clothes when you go into the room and regularly bleaching the walls and floors as a preventative
