          Hi, no sign of spider webby material, and the brown leaves aren't slimy. I didn't notice any 'smoke' or spores. Did see a caterpillar a few days ago, little green thing about half an inch long, but it disappeared into the canopy when I tried to catch it ... no sign of a worm in the affected bud ...

            When I check inside the bud to see what is going on I do not remove the bud from the plant....I think it's growing days are over

                Yes. That looks very much like it. That is called Mycelium.

                It's typically not harmful to human health but in a small number of cases it can be fatal.

                Your bud was likely dead before you noticed it on the outside.

                You cannot keep spores away from your plant so you need low humidity and good airflow and healthy plants to stop it from taking hold in your buds. Rain and high humidity is a certainty to get it.

              Should / can I harvest the rest of the plant or is it a gonner?

                If you are not immuno compromised or have other respitory issues you can just dry it and smoke it....it only causes plaques in the lungs of a very small percentage of people, but it does kill most of them.

                Up to you.

                Likely you have healthy buds on that plant.

              ok ... I guess it's harvest time, then ...

                Hi, just wanted to post an update fwiw. I kept a few of the healthiest looking buds and binned the rest. Started drying them out, and moved to curing, then last night I thought I’d try some. I was shocked to find that the buds were full of seeds (and I got zero hit from what I tried)! Seems like I had no luck at all.
                In the event that I try again, is there an indica auto flower variety that’s easy to grow indoors (and so avoids the risk of getting fertilised), like in a conservatory, and that’s not prone to rot? I can’t do the whole room/lights/humidity control thing…
                cheers!

                  All of what you want is prone to mold.

                  Reduce the incidence of mold in your flowers by controlling

                  1. humidity, below 50%RH is typically fine unless you have huge buds and a quite long flower cycle.
                  2. Keep your flowers dry
                  3. A healthy plant
                  4. Temperature

                  I know of nothing else that works to reduce mold.
