I don’t know what caused this on the top of one bud. I pulled it off & attached a picture. I have started treating for small caterpillars. I’m not sure if this is pests or disease. I also have a number of leaves with little brown spots on them.

Probably rotted from caterpillars.
You have mites too. Time for a dose of Captain Jack’s Deadbug Brew.

Got it. Thanks. Do I need to remove the entire bud?
I just did the Captain Jacks 3 days ago. Only one dose, but its ready to harvest. Should I remove the entire bud? Should I apply a 50/50 peroxide, leave for a day, harvest then wash? This all ripened pretty fast.

Yeah; if you are ready then do a bud wash at harvest:

So I don’t need to do a 50/50 peroxide spray 1st? Do I need to remove the entire bud? I just want to get this right.
Bud rot spreads quickly. Prepare for harvest.
Cut off anything that looks fuzzy/mushy/brown ASAP. Be careful, it spreads via spores. So dirty fingers, clothing, tools etc. will spread it.
Before trim soak everything in an h2o2 bath. 16oz 3% h2o2 for each 5 gal of water. Then rinse in another bath of fresh water or gently rinse with a hose. Gently shake excess water. Hang to dry.
