bump....anyone have any advice at all on what to do to get a good yeild but not get mold because it really seems like it might get wet around here
 
are u drying outside? if so you are kinda screwed. I'de take and pack what you can per trip and bring them to a safe dry place. You are facing similar problems as I am in N MN. My solution has been to create a litter to carry all of it out and drive it carefully to a dry box where it will be fine.

Unless you can look at em daily to keep on the lookout for blight,then I'd pull em now if it's callin for damp weather for the next week.
That's my opinion and speaking from experience.I'v seen the weather become nice and sunny after a few rainy days and mold still spread because of cool nights with the dew on the buds.
 
Well it all depends on what part of Maine you live in. Down at the coast there is not supposed to be much rain. As stated above by muaythaibanger, unless you can check on them often it wouldn't be a bad idea to pull them if they are ready. If your buds are still pretty small I would say wait and leave them outside. Just as long as you can check on them at some point I say leave them out. I don't plan on ripping mine out anytime soon. Living near the ocean in Maine is nice because you can wait till late October early November until you harvest.

I done tests last year on buds when mold started on my plants.That was even on sunny days.
Checked the top buds real well up close with one eye closed.Came back in 24 hours to see mold.This was even in sunny weather at the end of September last year.Even when you can't see the spores,they're there ready to go.

Grey mold(Bortytis) can make a bad mess of a crop in a few days if the temps. are low and climate is rainy.
If you can't keep an eye on em everyday,pull em now. You'll regret it if you don't.

Living in so.me near the coast im not planning on pulling till mid oct. Hoping the weather will cooperate for the most part. Anyone heard of or had experience with using liquid copper fungicide to prevent bud mold? Just wondering cause i have a bottle of it at my house.
