Hi everyone... was planning on harvesting this weekend, and I found this!!! It doesn't look wide spread, but I'm not sure what my options are now. Is this powdery mildew or a different mold? Any suggestions on if I can correct this? Thanks!

Following are smaller pictures then huge ones, as you can see it is a light white fuzz... sorry I screwed up this posting, but I wanted to get you good detailed pictures... I don't know what to do.








Now the more detailed pictures:






Thanks!!!

I'm having trouble taking good pictures of it... these were the best I could do... flash drowns out the white and I don't have any good lights for taking pictures.

If it is Powdery Mildew, check out this vid...[video=youtube;S7jE7qzfgQs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7jE7qzfgQs[/video]
Wish you the best with the rest of your grow

On the last pic it looks like bud mold. If it is then you need to cut that cola 2 inches down from where you see the mold and inspect the stalk for more. At the end of flowering it is important to keep the RH low and the air moving to avoid this problem. However, the last thing u want to do now is have a fan blowing the spores around the room. It's it bud mold it will just spread, it won't get better but u can still fix the air for the rest of them.

it doesnt look like powdery mildew. i hope it's not bud rot. if you was gonna chop tomorrow then chop tomorrow. start trimming the funky ones first, if they feel squishy wet or squidgie then isolate them during drying. check your shit every day while drying, anything that starts getting squishy needs to go. if it's bud rot you may lose the whole thing. so err on the side of caution. if it looks gross isolate it. if too much is going nasty, try fast drying the stuff thats not squishy. if its all just gross, then its all lost, sanitize and try again but keep humidity lower.

Ugh.. I'm so confused with what the heck this is!!! I can barely see it when I'm harvesting, it just looks like a light haze. Up close in a jewelers loupe, it looks like a stringy web... it looks like it is just covering some stuff, there doesn't appear to be any damage from it. Nothing is soft or squishy or gross on the buds and no noticeable funky smell... Any further thoughts? So worried!

I've only done two cola's and both have signs of it. Damn I hope this isn't on everything...

the pictures just look like resin laden sugar leaves

but the focus wasn't in the right places to figure it out

could be mildew... but the plant looks mostly healthy

I did as you said... you mean outside or inside the stalk? I'm not seeing anything different from a healthy stalk, there is no growth on it.

I haven't seen any mites... would you be able to see those through magnification?
Click to expand...
yes, you would, and you'd also see webs if the infestation is bad.. webs show up pretty quickly from a few friends i know that have had them..
wish the pix were a bit clearer, but i know it's not the easiest of things to try and get a clear pix of..

idk how ok it is, but i agree, they're no where near ready yet...

Agreed... That plant isn't ready yet; however, I'm harvesting two others in the same cabinet that are ready, and unfortunately I have to do this one too due to miscalculations and outside problems that will make it unable for me to harvest later.

that's cool, and if it is mold, you might be better off harvesting it now as once it takes hold, it can spread like a mofo..again, just going off of what i seen in a very good friends grow this year..
she suffered high temps, and low humidity and as a result battled with both spider mites on her clones, then bud rot during harvest..

In the meantime, let that piece dry out and see what happens. The grow room needs plenty of fresh air and low humidity now. Keep the temp range tight to avoid high RH when the lights go off.
