Is this mould?

I'm pretty sure it is.
I'm just in disbelief as to why or how.
It's the only part of the plant I see it on, the main bud :-(
So if it is mould, what should I do??
I have 2 other pants beside it.
Please help.20221202_152846.jpg20221202_152927.jpg20221202_152930.jpg

It is mold, sorry.

I would pick a spot somewhere down the branch where there is a break in the buds/completely exposed stem, and cut off everything above that point. You can either trash the whole bud, or try and salvage whatever is not within an inch or so of anything dead/brown/also molded (keep in mind the mold is going to start near the stem for the most part). Edit: if it were me I would just trash the whole bud.

Then I would carefully inspect all the other branches. Usually the first sign of mold inside a bud is a single dead leaf surrounded by healthy green growth, anywhere you see that you more than likely have mold already.

As stated better airflow will definitely help. Also avoiding large temp/humidity swings in general. For example, when the lights turn off, the temp will drop and humidity will rise, which can cause water vapor to condense inside the buds, creating an environment where mold spores can germinate and grow. Better airflow (exhaust and circulation) will help to stabilize the environment so that doesn't happen as readily.

And remove any dead leaves that have a stem going into a bud - it's a lot easier for spores to infect a dead leaf than an alive one.

Good luck!

Thank you both. I disposed of the mouldy patch and ened up finding another little patch. Both disposed of now. I am keeping a close eye on her.

Hi, those are some really great pictures, I learned from this and will be keeping an eye out as I've seen similar patches on my cured buds... Mold can look a lot like tricomes if its a small but your pics really show the difference.

Whats your RH in the room?
