Thats the sugar leaves ...and a stem broken...
Bud rot i'm afraid
More air movement next time
I looked at the exact spots thats just the underside of a leaf that stuck that I cut,,,IT smells great, no mold on the buds, RH in that cure closet is under 45%..I cure with the leaves on and I guess its possible for 2 sticky leaves to mold a little bit especially if they stick together...I"m not saying youre wrong,,But when I wet trim my buds they smell like hay for 3 weeks, If I leave the leaves on they keep a very pleasant smell. Now that you brought it up, I can see a few leaves sticking together while they're green and a piece of mold here or there..The buds are clean as the preachers sheets

Not literally see mold....I can see it happening because of the moisture being so high and leaves sticking together

Double check real good. Photos can be deceiving but that does look like mold.
It could be a little tiny bit, due to the leaves sticking together while drying....Nothing on the buds..I learned the hard way about mold...

So if I go back to wet trimming, I won't have to worry about a spot of mold here and there on sugar leaves. but the buds just don't smell good to me. I leave the leaves on and get a small spot of mold on occasion on the leaves only, but the bud smells and tastes a lot better

damn good eye, you must be a champ at "where's waldo". I'd give those buds a real good look under a magnifying glass under good light and cut out the bits that jondamon pointed out. If you catch it early you can save a lot of bud.
Tbh what started me looking was the brownness of some of the areas of bud.

I hang whole plants in a controlled room
68 f and 54-57 % rh and I rarely have mold

Typical ten days to two weeks to dry

Personally I strip all large fans and then hang.

sometimes I wet trim if I can be bothered.

similar to you I’m 18C and my dehuey is set to keep the area at 55-65%

Takes between 10-15 days with a slow dry.
