Hellllllooooo fellow growsman,

Hope ya all good.

Ok, am growing in the uk, outdoors and as you all know the weather is not the best.
As of late, the days have been sunny mostly with a little bit of rain here and there, nothing that im too concerned about BUT...

The are about a week/2weeks away from harvest and the nights are getting cold now, not quite freezing but very cool and dewy (wake up and theres water all on the cars and windows aswell as lots of fog)

They are on 2 different paches, 1 is residentual (get shelter and slight warmth from the houses so not too worried about those) BUT the others are gorilla style which are the ones im concerned about...

Is the morning dew and fog going to cause me problems, Mold, Bud rot and so on or should they be ok?! They are either northen lights or early girl... mixture of both.

All thoughts are welcome.

Peace out.

I bring out the old fan I got laying around and dry them off it the dew makes them really damp. like after a rain or something.

hi mate iam a first timer so dont take my word as truth but suggetions i have two plants one wich i have left out side to get on with it just check for bugs and what not and one plant i take good care of i started to notice dry mildew on the leaves so i have started to bring it in of a night at about 6.30 and put it out again at about 7.30 started at 6.30 but started to notice that the mildew had seemed to have gone by the morning but by 8am it was back now iam not saying that just bringing it in is getting rid of mildew but thought it would stop the mildew effect. as i said i started putting it back out at about 6.30am but i think its still to cold at that sort of time in the morning hence why i am now taking it out about 8. i have found if possible when you bring the plant back to light in the morning keep in doors behind a window with the sun on it this seems to keep the plant warm enough that it seems to be slowing the mildew effect down and you can take it back out side later in the morning when the dew has gone from the floor.

Mildew should be treated otherwise the spores will spread. There are some fungicides that will take care of it. If you are concerned by mildew, as in, the plant won't dry itself off in the sun by early afternoon, you can always go out to them and shake them off of excess water. You can also do preventive maintenance and spray the plant with a fungicide up til about 2 weeks to harvest. Some claim to break down in about a week.
