I grow one large plant in a 3x3. I live in a warm humid climate. I have plenty fans and a dehumidifier. I found some mold on a cola, and promptly removed it. Does anyone have any advice for me. I think she needs another week, but I’m considering taking her down. Could’ve definitely defoliated much more. Any input is apprieciated.

Turn that dehumidifier down to 45, 60 is too high during flowering. Direct some air to go up through the canopy from bottom up. Defoliate so air can move through the canopy. Take out the whole bud that you found infected. Nice plant, but does need another week of so. Your call, depends on what you find during defoliation, hopefully no more. Good luck.
It is all the way down to 35. I have intake fan, plus 2 more on the floor, and 2 and canopy height. It doesn’t help that its 80 degrees and 93% humidity outside. Central air on set at 72. I guess all I can do is fight the good fight. I haven’t found any more bad spots. Cheers and thanks for the response.
Check your VPD. 60% RH is ok in flower IF you keep your temps over 80*. My 4x4 stays 80ish with RH between 40 and 60% depending on when I watered last. If I were you, I would start defoliating now, it will help increase airflow and bring your humidity down as the plant won't transpire as much once you remove some leaves.
I would take off all the fan leaves from below the red line (eyeball like the bottom third of the plant) and then a bunch from the interior. You can leave anything pointing outwards, but it looks like you've got a lot of overlapping leaves on the inside, which is going to hold moisture as your plant breathes.
