Coastal moisture and no sun creating mold

I am here in So-cal near the beach. I noticed mold after some days with a marine layer (moiture and fog) and no sun.
My plants are a couple of weeks from being done. Any ideas?

If you cut out the moldy spots and put fans on the plants you should be fine. The fog down here has been THICK!

covering wont help as fog is air.

I harvested, what I think is early.

You can cut your tops and then use a pin torch to burn the tips where you cut as the area will make mold from the cuts.
Take any mold out by completely removing the mold with sizzors then burn the area over with the pin torch.

Or harvest early like we all are doing. It sucks and I think my yield was lower but this was a very hard year for lots of us.

Yeah baby! Lots of mold problems due to the weather. I just picked off what I could and in the end I found that if I cut off any individual bud that was affected, it opened up the airflow around the cola and often I was able to salvage some of the affected bud also. Win win. Those big, fat dense colas really attracted the mold. The budworms didn't help either so I just kept harvesting individual buds and if I saw a bunch of it on the stem then I just topped the cola between buds and below the moldy spot and then manicured the cola top and saved what I could. When I got it early I think I save a lot of bud that would have been wasted otherwise

No dont cover them and restrict air flow. Trim out rot, cut off shade leaves(only on plants with mold) and remove dead ones,clear under the plant-suckers,weeds,mulch etc, cut down shading trees with a hand bushsaw.
