Minor Mold/Powedry signs or dust?

Hi all,

Strain is northern lights auto, end of week 13, day 96 since seed.
I am few days from harvest.

I want to know if I need to do H2o wash after harvest, or am I being too hysteric?
(last time I had powdery that I found out only after drying them...)

Is it powdery?

Thanks

I would still give this plants a couple weeks, at least. There are a lot of white pistols still. Wait until the pistols change color and shrink up into the calyxs. If you don't you will be abandoning a large amount of weight and quality.
I don't see any pm either.
Good luck friend!

I would increase your airflow and make sure they aren't cramped for space
Not positive if that is even PM
But more airflow is always good

Thanks, not cramped
I have 2 vents in, one out and 2 ventilators... I think the air is the best I can get

Maybe its another kind of mold?

I can't tell if there is any PM but I can tell that there is a bunch of lint and fuzz in the buds.

Yes, hard to avoid that if you want the best air flow...
I added a net to the vents, but it lowered the air flow.




This is what I suspect to be some kind of mold or fungus?
not the long hairs, the short ones..
Could be that its only lint and fuzz?
I am afraid that this is a start of something like in the pictures

Thank you

I was told 4 weeks ago that it will take 6 more weeks.. total of 16 weeks from seed, for an auto.. that is a lot.
I see more amber trichomes every day, so when it will be 25% amber, time to harvest, no?

Adding more pictures, what do you think?
Do I have 2 weeks more?
I have patience, just want to know how to plan.

Thanks

Yep, they still have at least a couple of weeks.
 
Its normal to have hairs on the pistils. Thats how the plant collects pollen.

Looks like some hair and thread from a shirt or something is on the plant in some photos

You can spray with potassium bicarbonate if you're really worried. For that I would use 1 tsp per gallon then if you are still worried wash the plants right after harvest.

Thanks, I thought about H2O wash, but I prefer to avoid that if not a must.
If that is not mold, then I don't need extra risk of not drying good...

BTW - this is the guide

Guys, can you please have a look?
I know there are still white pistils, but I have some amber already, still to wait for more?
Not on all of the buds, but few already shows some amber

Thanks a lot

Scope half way down colas for best idea of ripeness, tops get degraded by light and hands, looks like a pube in 4th pic btw. Hairs look like they got crushed by overeager bud squashers, this could be leadup to the mold. If calix gets damaged it will die then rot. Imo only and l learn something everytime l come on site. Could this be whats happened?

I wait for a lot more amber than what you have showing. But that's just me.
They sure are getting pretty colors going on them.
They look alright other than the fuzz. But that happens. I would wash them with potassium bicarbonate/water, H2O2/water and plain water baths, in that order, when you harvest. It will help get rid of some of the fuzz and if there is any pm or other fungus hiding the potassium bicarbonate will kill it.
You could cut the buds that you believe are done enough and leave the rest for later. Or you can wait until they're all done and cut the whole plant. In the end its really up to you .
One thing I always repeat to myself and others is, it's easy to harvest too early and almost impossible to harvest too late.
What ever you decide to do, good luck friend.

No crushers, have no idea, maybe from the microscope but I am very gentle with them
