Has anyone noticed a connection with Light Bleaching and mold showing later?

Nope. Pretty sure they're separate problems.

Sure, because light bleached area's (meaning the area has been damaged) would be more susceptible to infection with fungus, which is most likely brought on by higher humidity levels, etc..

Yes! Not just light bleaching, "wind burn" sometimes looks like light bleaching too and they create a site where botrytis can infect the plant. In almost every case of botrytis I've found on my plants, there was some damage to the cola where the fungus took hold.

Ok, I stand corrected. It would make sense that weakened areas are more succeptable to a virus or any pathogens I was thinking in terms of one causing the other. In this case one is allowing the other to occur due to the plant being in a compromised condition. The wind burn issue has gotten me before with my lowers when I had a fan under the canopy that wasn't oscillating and was too strong. Thanks for correcting me guys.

My experience with mould has always stemmed from a health related issue.
