Can you cut down shading trees to allow morning sun in? the buds are wet overnight from heavy dews and need drying when the sun comes up ASAP or mold will start. If its only getting sun from say from 11am on thats too late, thats an extra 4 hours staying wet when it could be dry.

I'm sktetching out about my crop too. Mold is the worst, I would actually rather have worms. I use serenade as a preventative, it only works good if you are pre-emptive
about it. I have some stuff called oxidate that kills it but kill beneficials too so I only use it once the mold is there to stop it. But if you find mold/botrytis it's best to just harvest if you can. Otherwise it's a hopeless battle once the mold is there. With your situation you need to get on it, looks cool and damp. Good luck!

dude u guys are crazy, ur gonna chop what 3-4 weeks early bc u THINK ur plants are gonna get rot. thats ridiculous. you get rot, u go in there with scissors, and cut it out. so u can harvest now, with no mold and have a bunch of airy weak ass buds. or u can watch ur plants for mold, bc its not to hard to spot, and in my experience, doesnt consume a plant in one night. ur plants still have alot of weight to gain yet, i would guess atleast 50% more, and much more potency as well. Imo ur being paranoid for no reason, 65-70 RH isnt anything to fret about, and a slight breeze and colder night temps, will drop the risk of rot as well. do what u will but i dnt think its very wise

What mr marijuana said. Wait to see if you even get mold, and if you do, selectively cut those parts.

Can you go out in the morning to shake the dew off her? Even that would help.

Definitely do not cut them down unless you definitely have mold...for all you know your strain is resistant to mold

Same with mine.
But that's a good thing, don't have to do the trimming all at once.
