Looks like bud worm damage. Is this outdoor? Put some nitrile gloves on and peel into the bud where you see damage. You might find the worm or its droppings. If you have one infested, there's probably more.

Looks like classic bud rot. Not a good thing. Will spread.

Looks like bud rot so tearing that apart while on your plant will make sure the rest get it as the spores will spread all over like pollen.
Put a bread bag or something over it and twist tie it sealed around the stem then cut the f'er off and take it far away to open and examine.
Good luck!

cut that bud off, throw it outside, wash your hands, examine the rest of your plant carefully, and maybe add a fan to that room for a little extra airflow. a dehumidifier wouldn't hurt, but good ones are a little spendy, and cheap ones are shit.
bud rot usually starts in a dense bud with little airflow, when a leaf or calyx dies and starts to rot. better airflow helps a lot with that, makes the stuff dry out before it can start rotting

you might be able to save part of it, but i'd get rid if that whole bud, inhaling mold spores can do bad shit to your sinuses and lungs

the only other advice i can offer is to do a little light selective defolation, make sure theres a path up the center of that plant for air to move through
look for leaves that are laying on top of other leaves, when they lay like that and transpire, you get a real wet spot where mold can get a toe hold

I have around 3 weeks till proper done so hopefully I can last it out could probably pull now if absolutely necessary but would be gutted cos not couch locked yet but I have a good amount there already I would have to lose it the bud I just removed was really big I reckon around 30-40 gram dry from my estimate

keep an eye on it, look at the bigger buds carefully, pull them apart a little, look for dead or dying leaves...

So you removed and pulled buds apart and inspected? To me at first just looked like dead leaves, however an overwhelming amount of people called out bud rot. So was just wondering your findings.
