Okay to harvest plant after cutting off bud rot infection

I am harvesting tomorrow, but on my inspection today I noticed some bud rot. I cut off the affected buds, should I be fine to harvest the plant tomorrow and just be diligent in looking for other potential infections?

by the time you can see it spores are likely all over. i'd still cut out the spots and harvest it, don't get me wrong, but i wouldn't lie to myself... i'm going to smoke some spores at the very least, LOL if anything gets discolored or feels extra soft (kinda like a dry rot) after dry/cure, toss those nugs out too. Wash your drying rack and anythign that comes into contact with these buds very well afterward.

I certainly did find more rot, but there was still a lot that was good. Although I am a little wary of smoking the plant I am also pretty excited because the plant was so sticky! Thank you everyone for your advice!

No worries. Just discard the affected bud site, and carry on with the harvest. You're fine.

As long as you cut away the infected buds you should be perfectly fine, the thing is there could be a lot more buds affected by the bud rot than you know.

Cut off every rotten buds and throw them away. For the others, I recommend to do a 2 buckets Bud Washing (Food Grade ~0.05% H₂O₂ solution + water) to prevent infection reaching others during drying. The two buckets should be between 20 and 22°C (68~72°F), the water slight colder, to prevent the trichomes from falling off. Lay them out in front of a fan for an hour or two to remove the water from the leaves before resuming your usual drying method. See here: https://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs
