That's fungus, and not a good one. Botrytis. You'll need to cut that all away, everything, that's near or around all that, leafs, the bud it was on, everything. Botryis as I said is a fungus, depending on your RH if high it spreads rapidly and quick, quick enough it'll ruin your crop overnight. So, to slow it down, increase ventilation as this will slow the spread down. Don't go cutting through buds as you would do with bud rot, as you can save a cola with bud rot, this is fungus. If was a by product of rot I'd be looking to see browning of the bud, shriveled up and so on. That's a healthy plant just in wrong conditions. If you have high RH you HAVE to make sure you have great ventilation. It is possible to grow in high RH without this. You just need good ventilation. So, everything that has it, needs to go, the surroundings and so on. You'd be better just cutting the bud from the stem, leafs and all attached. Any tools you use, make sure you wipe it down good. Then you want to make a h202 solution and spray where you can, try not get the buds wet, but it won't do any harm if you get a little. Clean the blades of fans and a general wipe down. Look into H202 flushing if it persists and flush your soil. Good luck

Bud rot/botrytis unfortunately, not spider mites.

I do believe your seeing mold. Spidermites would leave other tale tale signs like little white spots on the leaves. This bud may not be viable anymore. Watch your humidity in flower keep it lower and keep those fans a blowing.

ONLY CUT THE MOLDY BUDS!!! Do not cut the healthy ones but be carefull when cutting them off because you do not want to infect the healthy buds with the bud rot! Can you not put the air in and outake only on for like 15 minutes 5 times during the night. So for example when your lights turn off at 00:00 and turn back on at 12:00 then let your fan and air in and outake run between: 1:45 - 02:00 / 3:45 - 04:00 / 5:45 - 6:00 / 7:45 - 8:00 / 9:45 - 10:00 And at 12:00 your lights go back on. This is not ideal but at least you refresh the air every 2 hours during the night. Yes dehumidifiers are cheap and really handy when you grow cannabis! Goodluck!

I have two fans but not oscillating.. the problem is I cant have the vent sistem turned on during the night period, so there's no air renovation during the dark time .. I know it's a problem but i really cant do anything about it, i'll have to get a dehumidifier to see if it helps ..

Yes, the problem in the leaves was from calcium problem and I was fixing it .. but as dutchdoobie said if you zoom in you can see the mold .. Cut the whole plant or just the moldy buds ? And budwashing, should I do it or just throw everything in the trash ?

Yes when you zoom in you can see it. And I am sorry to bring you bad news but this is the first stage from bud rot. When it first appears it looks like white wool. After it will become grey and then the bud start to become brownish and gray and slimy. Cut it away!!! Moldy weed is really bad for your health!!! After you did this you need to create more airflow because the cause of this mold is too moist for too long! Use a fan, the leaves should visible move up and down. And a oscillating fan would be the best choise and move it regular so it will also blow dry other sides from the plant! Goodluck!
