Bud rot

Haven’t check my plants in a week or so but the hairs are oranging quickly and not consistently which has lead me to check more...

There is white fur and I’m sure it’s bud rot ...

Is this curable?
Or will it spread?

Dude thats a write off.
I had this on one plant - i threw the whole plant out.
You can try "Save" the buds that dont have it - but in the back of your mind you will be wondering if you are smoking mould.

BTW Black mould can kill you.
Just be safe mate. whatever you do here. Remember, you can always grow more plants.

Most likely your fans have spread the spores all over your tent.
When this happened to me i bleached the entire tent top to bottom...

Ive smoked ounces of brown/grey cobbwebbed buds.
Taste like shit but got me high and lungs were fine.
Between the heat from the lighter and the water in the bong, i think most mold was burnt up or filtered before it got to my lungs.
I guess i wouldn't recommend smoking the moldy bits but throwing the whole plant away is being over paranoid..
Pick out the mold and smoke the rest.

Hey man,
If you can do that and not have a mental breakdown then you are lucky.
I have anxiety issues. If i see mould and i get high im gonna run scenarios in my head of me dying.
I have a friend who smoked Black mould as well and he is perfectly fine. His lungs are not what they used to be
But i put that down to him inhaling lighter gas to get a quick high and not from smoking weed.

Ive heard black mould can kill you and i know of a case where a guy was in Intensive care for smoking black mould.
But also - i know a different guy who smoked a lot of it and he was perfectly fine.
Id say its a dice roll.

Fusarium solani is very dangerous, I would never tell anyone that its okay to inhale that nasty stuff. And then, you have to remember just because you don't see it on all the buds of a plant doesn't mean its spores aren't all over the plant. And just because you are smoking it, doesn't mean you still won't be inhaling those very dangerous spores into your lungs. Anyway that stuff is so bad that its recommend that you bleach down your entire growing area, including all equipment, and don't re-purpose the soil as the spores will be everywhere including in the soil, and those spores can live up to 6 months even in very low humidity!

Its not just the mold or spores. There are different compounds created by the mold overtime. Those compounds when burned and inhaled are dangerous. Please look it up yourself, i cant go through all my bookmarks to find you sources at the moment.
A young healthy person can smoke the mold ridden stuff and POTENTIALLY be ok. But a person with even a slightly compromised immune system smoking mold ridden stuff can easily end up in the hospital.
