Mold? It's raining like a mofo!

How concerned should I be about mold at this point in the growing season? I'm north of the 49th parallel, so the plants are getting close, maybe a week or 2 away at most. The trichs are starting to turn cloudy...

Anyway, it's been raining here for a few days, supposed to rain a few more before the weather finally clears. My buddy has got me all paranoid about mold. Should I chop early, or chance it and let them mature?

Help please! :joint:bongsmilie

Go to your local Grocery store and get some Whole Ground/Stone Ground corn meal, put a cup in 1 gal of semi hot water. Stir & let sit for several hours. Pour tea & wet cornmeal around the plant. This will make a good fungi called tricadermia (?)that eats the bad mold & fungi. Need air circulation in & around your buds. Do whatever it takes to get them dry. Cloudy trichs are for a more up-lifting high, as opposed to amber-body stone. A fan would be perfect. Good Luck.

Cool, thanks for the suggestion. I went and checked on my girls today, no signs of mold whatsoever at the moment. Shook the sh*t out of them to knock out any water in the buds and cola, so far so good.

Looked at the trichs under the microscope, they look pretty clear still, so my guess is they aint ready yet.

Follow up question on trichs... does a heavy rain wash them away? I've seen some of the pictures on here and the buds look like they've been dipped in icing sugar! Mine are slightly icy, but not that much... :confused:
