Anyone know what this white stuff on the buds?

This white cotton like appeared on the best of the buds on my plants. Im trying to figure it out for next year.
I usually grow sunflowers in front of my plants to shade them from hot evening roasting sun. The sun flowers were only 3 ft high & didn’t work this year.
I water in the evening, which is not good.
What is this white sht on the buds? It ruined 20% of my harvest?

I’m gonna go with mold and/or mildew. But as @MadamCalamity stated, it’s kinda blurry. Got a couple other shots?

Yup, mold. Had this problem a couple times when I didn’t burp my jars right.

Now I recall back in the day I read an article in High Times talking about Harrold’s Disease, which proclaimed it would multiply THC… I just could never actually smoke moldy weed.

I have a relative who loves smoking anything moldy. I gave away 5oz, because it had a moldy smell. I forgot to burp for a week no visual mold just a smell.

Throw it away and don’t smoke it or you will probably end up in hospital.

It’s normally caused by too much humidity during flowering and drying.
