Help my stems look like they are rotting or molding at various locations

I'm not seeing any amber in those pics and those look like the sugar leaves to me rather than the buds. Sugars go amber first which would mean the buds are even less ripe than what you're seeing in the pics.
Here are some examples where you can see how the grey mold dies and the bud turns brown and crispy from the spray:
I haven't found H2O2 to stop the spread of bud rot. Ever.
Exactly!
Make sure you cut anything remotely rotten when you wet-trim.
Another member here does QWISO with 99% and had it tested after cooking off the iso. It came back with a large amount of iso still remaining. If you can't get your hands on 190 proof Everclear, 151 proof vodka might be a cleaner solution. Unless you have a vacuum extraction setup.
Much of my rot started on the tops, but wherever I sprayed the SAGFF, it prevented any adjoining calyxes from getting bud rot.

@InTheShed when you sprayed with that did it stop it from starting on other buds further down for good?
I can go see if I can find some.
Here is how mine keeps starting. See the small brown single spot underneath by a leaf. Every time it's like this then goes into the more molded 2nd photo
I have to leave and I feel like when I get nsck everything will be moldy. I tried smoking some from 1.5 weeks ago and got me high but that's the first time I've smoked in years haha
I only have edibles and 10mg thc is a 4+ hour high for me.
I'll look into that solvent.

I would take off what you can see and spray the area around where you removed the rot. It didn't prevent another area on the plant from getting rot even when I soaked the plant, but it did keep the adjoining buds from getting infected.

I noticed that while I was away my plant dried out and leaves went a little limp. The interesting part is the mold stopped coming nsvj on the stems and the mold on the buds seems to have only effected singke buds and not spread as much.
I ended up cutting down 75% of one plant and 25 of another before leaving for the weekend as they wrre getting bad but after returning its interesting to see not as much mold. It was also dry out and sunny with lower humidity. I'm going to try to keep watering to a minimum in these final 2 or so weeks.
I'm now having a hard time determining when is dry in my garage when going to trim.
I tried the wet trim and dry and find wet seems easier and I don't disturb the plant as much after its dry. Not sure which way saves more tricombs and resin on the plant though.
I might do a bar of each then try to compare when making edibles.

Why would you water to a minimum for the next two weeks? It takes water to bulk up the buds!
Don't feel bad about wet trimming...I'm a wet trimmer too

To stop the mold. It seems the plant that got drier the mold stopped. It's also been dry out too. I am still watering just not as much.
I think at this point I might just cut it down and make the rso. It just keeps getting mold and I've cut so much out already. The tricombs are now milky so I think that's fine for men. Even though not big buds hopefully it will be fine for oil. And edibles.
I will still have 2 hybrids going

You could try bottom watering. Maybe it's the moisture coming off the top of the plant contributing to the mold?

I think it is contributing to it but I think at this point its getting later and later in the season and they are outdoors and I feel like I just keep cutting of moldy bud and loosing more and more each day 
Ill keep the 2 hybrids and see how they go.
I have cut so much of the indica and one sativa they look like a charlie brown christmas tree

I know that look! I had large gaps in my colas when I harvested. Not very photo-worthy!

Yeah the issue is mine havent really even grown much at all in the past 3 weeks
Its around 14-9*C 57F and rain and cloudy mainly with some sunny days the last bit but back to rain.
I really wanted to see the "buds"grow but at this point its mainly really just the start of the cola's I had before, mainly sugar leaves.
BTW side note all the sugar leaves are mainly cloudy now so I do feel its close. Maybe this strain doenst get big buds I dont know.
I'm going remove any stems with that bark missing and then one my hybrids I'm going to put tuck tape on the effected areas so it wont be able to breath though there and put peroxide on it first.

Some strains have a higher leaf to calyx ratio, but fighting the elements can slow down bud growth. It's one of the downsides to growing outside. Crazy high lux and free light though...

I'm thinking the plants are actually trying to kill whatever this "mold" is.
I created a new post to really understand if this is bud mold or a virus in the plant

Is this really bud rot or some kind of plant virus?
So as I have seen my plants get more and more mold on them I have noticed a pattern, originally I thought this might be airborne and then got onto the plants via wind from some molding tomatoes and strawberries near by. The thing I find now is that every branch of my plant which had exposed...

@InTheShed I actually dont really know what the "buds" are supposed to look like other than I do see them getting slightly bigger right beside the fan leaf at the lower part of each flower.
I pretty much cut down my entire sativa today
I'm going to do the same to the indica but hopefully I can save these hybrids before they get the same issues.
Your photo seems to show a lot more buds than are on my sativa. I noticed the Indica was a lot more easy to see the buds and there were a lot more in each cola/flower.

True sativas grow different bud structure from indicas. Generally, long branch-end colas are more often seen on indicas, where sativa flowers tend to grow off to the side of the branch.
I've never seen anything like that growth on the stem, which looks more like a science fiction movie to me! Besides the Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide, I don't have any ideas. Good luck with the H2O2 and tape solution. I hope that contains it.

The growth is actually a small bud that then turns brown and then I know that flower will get mold. Longer I wait the more it gets and it's traveling threw the stem. I can see the brown in the stem going into the top of the flower.
That makes it really sound like it's systemic.
