Does morning dew contribute to mold?

it gets cool here at night and most mornings I have dew on my plants but it's gone as soon as the sun warms it up. I just keep a close eye on the girls and if they even start to mold I yank 'em.

A follow up question about mold and shit... I have one plant that is doing something strange. It is forming healthy looking buds, but the leaves are all fucked up. Im probably going to take a picture and get more specific tomorrow. I do wonder though, if this plant has a mold problem (it is in my opinion a plant whose specific surroundings place it in a much worse position than any of the other girls with respect to this guy's opinion on what might contribute to mold) could it spread to the other plants ten or so feet away?

If by "leaves are all fucked up" you mean the sugar leaves are looing brown / grey, I suggest you look deeper into the bud. This is what mould looks like on a flowering plant. Give the dying looking leaf a gentle tug, if it comes off easy spread the flower open and look into it.

These are pics from last year. I cut out the mould and hit the effected area with a pen torch.

Morning dew can cause bud rot. Mountain dew can cause tooth rot. Brush between meals and shake your bush. Peace.

Must be nice to be able to check them everyday. Battling bud mold + limited to one trip out a week in the rainiest year in recent memory = survival of the fittest, lol. It's funny to watch two plants of the same strain stand beside each other..one molding away, the other not a speck of mold.
