mold! -a four letter word if ever there was,...
... this also one reason I'm running more Sativa-dom's this year,.. generally, ones with tropical landrace lineage can carry greater mold resistance, dry climate strain lineage is weak,... The weather was shite at harvest time for me last season, and all the plants bloomed late as well,... The Acapulco Golds fared best of all, even running late as they were... save one! The youngest plant, 2 weeks behind her sisters, lost the battle and was culled, but by that time, there was several rounds of rain, cool nights+ high RH% = mold.... This year, I'm going to try something I've been thinking about... Actinovate, a bacterial anti-fungal agent that's applied as a foliar, can help fight off fungal pathogens,.. Outside, the spore are ubiquitous, zero ways to stop them from settling on the plant, right? So, before bloom stars, I'm going to do regular sprays of this stuff, so the forming buds grow around the applied bacteria on the plant, as well as outer dosing... since this type of mold starts from the inside out, when conditions trigger their reactivation, they'll have "company" waiting for them!
.... also going to chat with Optic Foliar about using ATAK/Transport as well,....
Slo', very nice gummy bud on that Sky'! Wise call mate, she was ready enough,... you might even like the buzz from that earlier take bud!

great looking bush-bud! ... ah, the pics,.. I Forget what it is, but there's a size limit on uploaded pics here,.. there's no need for mutli-Mb pics anyway, they don't show any better that I can tell,... Start with the camera/phone, and see if you can lower the size or "quality" of the pic there,.. my older camera can, and it helped.. then, as Slo' mentioned, reduce the size in Paint or other program,.. I can't see any difference at this size scale here, between the high res. pics and lower res'.. I reduce mine in Paint,to about 30%,... pics load waaaay faster, pages do too,...
