So should I try the plastic bag with a rubber band over it first before cutting it off? Do I need to air the plastic bag?

You can and should cut a moldy branch. At least a couple of inches below where the mold appears to end as well. You can put a bag over it and secure it with a rubber band to first to stop mold spores from spreading.

Good cover? Enough light passing? I place her at inside at night. High risk of budrot?
Is this a good cover? Quite bad weather this week, but i live in northern Europe so we have a mild sea climate. The summer is kinda over but this week is more rainy and cold then usually this time of the year. Does enough light pass the cover? I place her inside a barn at night.

Should I put harvest into jars early?
Should I put my harvest into jars insted of hanging? I harvested 2 days ago and my humidity right now is between 60-70% with fan and dehumidifier. I wonder if the buds would be better in jars with 50% humidity packet. I'm afraid they will mold hanging in the house. Rain all wk.
