Most likely this is mold and your cannabis should be tossed in the trash, unfortunately.

Maybe my buds too moist in the jar ?

Dry it out then put it back in jar without boveda pack? My pack made it moist

White webs on the buds is usually spider mites.
Take a look at the leaves. Any spots on them? Now look at the underside of the leaf (closely), see any tiny bugs?

What this tells me is that you are not the kind of person who needs boveda packs since you use your material too quickly. Your opinion could give bad advice to people who need to store material long term, for which boveda packs should be enlisted. IME if one gets mold when using boveda packs, it is likely that your bud was not dry enough yet when sealed in the airtight container. Boveda packs are for storage and curing - NOT FOR INITIAL DRYING AFTER HARVEST. Capitalization is for emphasis, I don't wanna look like I'm yelling at you bro
This is 100% true. Good advice!
This. Webs are typically mites, not mold. If you have mites in your bud, then get rid of it. If you have access to macro/microscope imaging, you'll quickly see if there are bugs
Oh man, I only hope that the OP does not have their own grow and just bought these buds. I would not wish a bad spider mite infestation upon anybody.

BTW, good luck getting those things out of your grow room!

Spot on!
Most folk having issues with Boveda are putting the packs in too early.
Drying takes weeks and should be done in an area with good airflow.
Initial curing should be done in Jars but requires burping (opening the Jars) daily. Really a hydrometer should be used to assess the Relative Humidity. After a few weeks one can begin to burp the Jars less frequently. I wouldn't begin to use Boveda packs until maybe the third month of curing, and only if I planned on putting the jars away for longer with less frequent checking.
I use these as they are cheap so I can have one for each jar:
Mini Digital LCD Indoor Temperature Humidity Meter Thermometer Hygrometer Gauge
Best resource I've found for that is: GWE

Words to live by!
BTW as an aside, attention must be paid to the vapor pressure of your environment, if you are in very humid conditions, you may find that initial curing without boveda packs may expose your flowers (during burping) to air which if too moist, will impart more moisture into your buds, rather than allowing some of the moisture to slowly leave them! This can lead to mold. We should understand that what works for most of us here will not work in every environment.

Very true, no point trying to reduce the moisture in the jar by opening it to a damper environment.
Personally I've not had to figure out a solution to that problem but I'm sure there are ways.

Sometimes to stupid to become a fool
Also take into account that warm air stores more water than cold air.
eg if a jar is opened on a hot summer day with 50% humidity and then stored afterwards in a cold place the relative humidity goes up inside the jar (same amount of water inside, but the air can hold less)

Best drying is - spread it out in the sun and let the chickens pick the seeds out
World's best bio chicken meatcolonel sanders would chop his fingers for that
Does @PuffItUp sell chickens?

Chicken shit is great fertilizer!{ancient organic farmer } Back in the 70's we had
some moldy acapulco gold;
one hit and you were good.
It remains one of the best tasting and most effective
strains that I have ever experienced.
I do remember the guy selling this stuff had really bad
asthma and would cough blood sometimes. This particular
strain with the mold really hurt him, but did not bother the rest of us
in the least. I guess we dodged another bullet!
