The rest of the buds stems look clean
Don't want to be doing this everyday so gonna chop them
you could tell by the look of the buds that were infected
None of the others look like that
Is it safe to smoke

The plant looks pretty ripe. What week of flower?
If you decide to harvest the plant, check deeply all the big dense nugs for bud rot. The discoloration should be really obvious.

Dry and cure the buds that dont have any bud rot. Toss all of the bud rot. The bud rot is not usable, unless you plan to turn it into oil. I personally wouldn't bother making oil with such a small amount of flower.

Was at week 8 and a half 52 or 53 days
I just cut it all down early... pity like..
Will I keep the temps up drying them
The humidity in the tent drying is at 37 %
Temps at 22 c
I was looking up curing ... not a chance of me going 60 60 now isn't there not
I had 2 buds I chopped about week 5 lol lovely looking but smaller but dense asf lol

These were growing I'm the done room as the tent
Should I dump them and just start fresh ?
Not that bothered about a week or 2 for peace of mind
Rather than be worried mold when they are 5 or 6 weeks in flower

Pics of the rest of the plant?

Reduce humidity and increase air flow to prevent bud rot.
I had my extractor on a duct
There was loads of bends in it I've tidied it abit made my fan more efficient
I had a bog 16 inch fan blowing in my tent right on them buds like man

The reasons I think I caught it
1 ..the leds make some massive dense buds
2.. had to take them out of the net in an emergency .. put them somewere for 1 dark period ..obv not great airflow
3..it was a critical stage
4...I dimmed my light first night back under the net I didn't realise and it was on lowest setting for 1 day
5..My extractor needed the bends in the duct straightened to make it more efficient
Humidity was to high
Good luck yall vpd followers
I was ordering a humifier man at the time lol :) trying to get my humidity from 50 to 55 60 lol
Keep humidity lower next time
If it takes getting a dehumidifier so be it

6 ..the tension on the net was way to much I broke every main stem ..done this my last grow as well
So their immune systems would be lowered

I was reading up a few things
1 thing I read about uv lamps was like a thc thing goes on when theyvare stressed
Near sure they shot alot of crystals out cause of the stress
I'm gonna prob get a uv lamp I don't think it works for mold from reading

7..my oss fan ..I had it canopy level ..which not a bother ..worked a treat ..but was on a downward angle slightly ..all that danky plant air was getting sucked up by the extractor and the fan was trapping it
Next grow still same place but slightly angled up help that danky air on its way
