Auto outdoor, weird foxtailing stunted flowers?

I have an outdoor auto (strain is Lemon grass by Humboldt seed company) which i got for it's high mold and disease resistance. But it has something going on with it.. 90% of the flowers are beautiful and coming along nicely. Its in a 25 gallon fabric pot. I topped it once a month ago. Along with 2 others in 15 gallon pots that have no issues, but are about 20 days behind the big one.

One main branch and it's flower were mutated, I found an odd small dark spot/hole on the branch midway before the flower. It looked like a rotten area? So i pinched it off as the flower was crippled and struggling. The other flowers around it now are foxtailing or something and the small developing flowers are dark dry and smell off or bad..

All 3 of them

The last 3 pics are from over a week ago when this first started. The surrounding flowers were fine. But have now mutated or foxtailed recently.. Along with the bud rot? Or whatever is going on with some of the small inner larfy ones. Don't understand what's going on or if I should cut off more or leave them be. They aren't fsr enough along or even sense enough for it to be bud rot so i don't what the issue is. Or the why the biggest one is having this. But the other 2 are fine.

All organic, just watering/rain i check for bugs daily. Only found 1 stink bug, no mites, a few spiders, and those like 3mm long micro grasshopper insects ho and fly around. And seem to suck the topsides of the leaves. Which i flick off daily.

IMO - Just to be on the safe side, get that freaky, moldy thing out of there before everything is ruined.

Good luck

Yeah i cut that original freaky one off In the last 3 pics. Because of what i found inside it aster opener the stem. But in my first post there are a few other small flowers now that their white hairs have shrunk to ugly brownies/dark hairs that also smell bad.. I'm thinking i should just pinch those off now as well.

A hole in the stem of an outdoor plant usually means a worm .

Hm didn't thinking about that. Make sense. Although i didn't see anything in that area i cut open. I've checked all over. No other holes or spots.

Still doesn't explain the issues with the other flowers hairs turning brown. Should i cut those off?
