Hi folks,
As many know, Northern CA has been hot with unseasonalbly. Old temps and rain. A HUGE storm with several inches of rain will strike again Tomorrow. I didn't get my plants covered in time before yesterday's showers and only have managed to get one garden covered inn the short break today before the pain sent me back to bed.
While covering the large garden, I found Bud Mold on two of my GrandDaddy Purple plants. Thirds plants have the densest buds, but there's no way this mold is from the rain as it was too far along when I found it today. I see signs that the rest of the buds for this strain are in mild limbo with the white pistils turning mushy brown and the dead leaves soggy.
Besides cover them, what else can I do? They are in full bloom and no where near finished. Is there a way to prevent the mold on the still healthy buds? Is there something to spray or would thinning the fan leaves or smaller buds off the plants help? I fear to lose my entire summer crop! What are other outdoor growers doing?
I have pics, but must locate a working computer before I can upload them. iPads suck for this.
I have achieved thick sense buds that folks seem to prefer, but my old air buds never got soggy moldy.
While imwork on photos, any advice from all you pros would be greatly appreciated! We'll get 3 inches of rain and drop to the 40 s the next 2 nights. :-(((((
