Mould or trichomes?!

looks like real spider webs, not mites. these are outdoors. from first glance it looks like trics, no way to know for sure until you get them dry. certainly you are susceptible with all that moisture, you may want to be a little aggressive with the drying and airflow until you get a handle on it.

Hey guys! Thanks for your input, I chopped them, I had some people saying I should have anyway, and others saying to let them go for a few more weeks. I chopped and within maybe a few hours it looked like they had gone mouldy, I had already seperated the suspect buds and am now drying the good ones, although they are very small. Abit gutted but I'm attempting a reveg as this strain smells amazing. Pine with a very berry smell with a hint of grapes. Now it's winter if they do reveg I'll be growing them indoors. :) I expect the comment about spider webs is correct, there were webs everywhere and I think the moisture had clung to them. In hindsight a wipe down would of been ideal, but humidity here was around 80-90% and the grow was in the middle of nowhere and I think the nearby farmer may of been onto me lol.
Once it's dried I'll post the dry weight and some pics.
was an emotional grow. Eaten and stunted. Planted them in May but they realistically had 2 months of veg and flowering hence the low yield I suspect.
Better luck next year! :) I've learned ALOT.

Damn!! I had a farmer drive his truck literally right NEXT to my bush, turn around and stopped right next to my smaller one and SOMEHOW he didn't realise? Or maybe left it as bait to catch me? Got knows but I freaked out!
I've left the bottom most buds and I'm going back tomorrow with some rooting gel and powder and some rockwool and I'll clone them there and then and put them into my tent, fingers crossed they re veg by next year :)

ya, just make sure you stay on top of keeping bugs off your clones since they are from outside. regular preventative measures without burning your clones.

What do you advise? Should I spray them or just isolate them for a while in a propagation box and see if anything grows/makes itself shown?

Get some spinosad and dip each clone. Hold it under the solution for awhile to make sure they can't escape and I would do this OUTSIDE. Mites are very hard to eradicate once they are indoors.

That's worrying as my plants are indoors now drying.. Although we have an invasion of lady birds in the UK atm. I think they eat mites don't they?

buds indoor are in a bathroom right? away from grow area. keep an eye out for pests. mites will crawl to top of stem.

for the clones, inspect with a magnifier, thoroughly and often. spinosad is a nice gentle solution if you follow directions.

Yep, lots of air circulation there and 50-60% humidity :)
Ah yes good tip! Thank you!

Trichomes do *not* look like that, regardless of where you are in flower. Throw those buds on the compost heap.
As I had thought! Thank you! They will be down the allotment along with the trim and my last grows fan leaves :) every little helps

i think a lot of that was morning dew, look at the spider webs, far as i know, mold don't grow on spider webs, and neither do trichomes, unfortunately
