First time dealing with bud rot

Hey all so I found a small amount of bud rot in 1 if my tops, I've tried to open up a bunch of other tops and couldn't see any. I'm assuming if 1 has rot there must be more or atleast some trying to start.
Should I harvest early just in case and closely inspect everything while trimming or let her go a bit longer?
I would like to salvage as much as possible, I'm 7.5 weeks into flower.

Get some 3% peroxide before you touch any bud rot spray it, Then cut out the rot an spray again you can cut now an get preemie bud Or what i would do is stay on top of it an fight on until loss becomes greater than gains.

Thanks guys I'll look into that I'll run for atleast another week and try keep onto of it, this girl normally runs for 9 - 10 weeks so hopefully at 8.5 it will be atleast close. I have opened up a lot of the tops to get a look in the middle and haven't found any more, but it's not like I can look in the middles of all the buds properly so I could have missed it if there's more there.

One bud doesn’t necessarily mean more buds either. I’ve had it on the top cola and nowhere else. More than once unfortunately. If it finds a place it likes it usually stays put. Unless you fuss with the plants a lot. Then you end up spreading it.

What's your temps and RH like? I've had some strains that would take 65% like a champ and no microbes detected on a lab test, and others in the same enviro, than failed miserably... before I had the AirROS system.... or are you outdoors?

Ya gotta catch that shit early ! I've had that happen to outdoor plants during high humidity. The bud rot , at least in my case , first appears as dark spot on bud. I cut it out like rot on a piece of fruit and the rest of the bud is fine.

The sugar leaves get twisted, yellow and pull out easily if the bud is bad.

There's is a couple yellowish leaves on a couple other buds but they don't pull out a d couldn't find any mould around them.

There in a tent that sits at 55 - 60% constantly, I have a dehumidifier outside the tent that keeps the room at 45% .

I hope it's just the 1 mind you there is a good chance I spread it after I found that 1 rotten I started digging around in all the other tops.
