Help With Mold

I've noticed dark patches of mold growing here and there on certain strains and have had to pull a few early because of it. There hasn't been any rain, its the precipitation in the morning, I walk outside at 7 am and its 50 degrees and everything outside is wet, warms up to 80 degrees by 2 pm and I think that's the cause. Anything I can do about this? I'm worried cuz I have 20 some plants that won't be done til Nov-Dec. Thanks

I'm using Bacillus subtilis (Bs). The beneficial bacteria that attacks gray mold, powdery mildew and related diseases. I too, have plants that will not finish until late November and I'm applying Serenade weekly. I've lost plenty to mold already. This organic fungicide works well and I think I'll salvage the rest of my grow. I'll choose varieties that finish earlier next year.

Thanks topcat, I'll look into those right away.

TWS I see why fans would help but I just don't see how ill set up fans outside on each plant, and I didn't think covering would only help rain, but I guess if I cover completely precipitation wouldn't get in either..

I'm covered up top and do not get condensation on the plants,as of right now my 2 walls are down for air flow.Still warm out here. I all so use a fan to keep the humidity down even with the 2 walls down because covering will increase humidty when the nights are damp and the days are warm. As for fog, unless it's super low covering will all so help more so then not. Keeping 50% + less off the plant must be better then letting 100% percipitation on them. They will dry out faster in the sun.

LOL ! I know if you really wanted to unless your guirella growning you can figure out how to get fans on em.

BTW. I have had a tad bit of bud rod regardless on a few strains and it generally is warm and dry out here up untill lately

Wow, thanks TWS..ill get that all set up on as many plants as possible with my budget, heading to the AG shop right now for supplies. I'll see what I can do about fans..but yeah as of now I think its just been the strains that seem to get it, but I kno next month its gonna be much worse so I might as well be ready for it, thanks
