Hi no mold on these ak-47. Buds are small, no frosty trichomes. The big plant is 2 years old, and than I have 3 clones from that. I had a couple of Northern Lights, they matured in August, and did have mold, lost a couple of buds. Like you, I need early flowering strains, Northern Lights seems to be one. Grew Bubblesicious, they are small but the auto flowering strain flowers early, but they were only 2 feet tall. Last year I grew 10 seeds from Nirvana but only 2 were female, sticking with feminized seeds now needless to say. I don't know if it is worth waiting to harvest, but no hard freezes yet. i just use compost, no fertilizer or insecticides. Had trouble with slugs and deer, a deer ate most of a Northern Lights. Watering was a bitch, it was a hot dry summer. Looked at your grow journal, it was very interesting and informative, maybe I will do one next year. The buds on the northern lights were big, they would get wet and not dry out, probably helped mold growth. With ak-47 it is hard to get 3 months of flowering because of cold weather and low light levels, (with ak-47, anyway) T
