Guessing it is but second guessing myself because the nugs look completely normal to the undaided eye. This is also the worst example of all the nugs but I'm going to quiso the whole lot.
Is this mold?

So I did a bunch of reading, from the first pics I started guessing powdery mildew instead of grey mold because botyris should have fungus as heads on stalks vs a mat of hyphae (fibers/mycellum) The second reason is that botyris requires a wet surface for infection while PM usually occurs in warm dry areas with cyclical humidity. FWIW these spots only appeared during drying.
Anyways took some more pictures.. Thank goodness it's not mold. But it is spider mites.
Thanks for the advice everyone.

Maybe I'm not decided between powdery mildew and spider mites just yet but that does look like spider webs to me.

I think powdery mildew shows on oldest fan leaves first, then goes to buds.

I read this as well, that mold usually starts on the leaves.
Yes, dried and cured. Looked great going into jars but I took it out when I saw some grey-ish spots.
Juniper, but was mostly an example to compare to the webbing in the weed pics.

I honestly can't tell.. It smokes ok (no taste, no smell, no runny nose) but I feel I've got to h2o2 wash it for peace of mind. Or qwiso it..

If the bud has been curing it may be some of rot. The leaves look black, maybe that started the process but the drying slowed it down.

Your posts made me so unsure of my spider mite diagnosis that I had to go check everything over again.
The colour is due to the lens, it's not even a very dark green and for sure not black.
Unfortunately I was not in charge of curing because of travel. Still spider mites is better than mold and this is always about learning. I guess I need better separation between my drying area and other non-cannabis plants.
Damn right, and it was good too! Seriously, I'm so sure now that it isn't mold because of how it smokes. I just wonder if there is any danger to smoking spider mites.
