I'm not sure if this is bud rot, powdery mildew or something else. The plant only has it on a single bud from a more shaded area with lower air flow. There is nothing on any fan leaves and the entire plant is generally healthy.
Is the consensus just to clip and toss it and move on with hopes of a bountiful harvest or drive around in circles worried about 1 stalk?
@macky much appreciated, seems as though you can always be counted on for a comment or advice. THANK YOU.
Snipped it. Hoping to push the plant for another 2 weeks. The flowers are getting to heavy though and freezing temps are possible next weekend. Glands aren't full milky yet, still primarily clear. No diary on this one seedsman witches wedding. The first diary I have, I've finally reduced the cut to be OGK.
Hi mate ,
Lovely looking plants mate , sorry to see you have got some mold. I have the same issues growing here in the UK. I took my plants down last month as I had mold too and like you I was hoping for another week or 2 bit disappointing but I felt it was best cut a bit earlier and cut my loses.
Definitely keep a close eye on those buds especially those Lovely fat colas you have. Mold is hard to spot sometimes especially if the mold is inside the bud.
One tip is look closely at your leaves and if they look to be browning a bit , pull them and if the come away easily from your branch then you could have mold inside .
I find once i find a bit of mold then the countdown to chopping the plant begins . Keep a close eye on your plant because especially with the change in the weather that mold could really explode .
Then it's a judgement call as how long you leave them risk more mold and lose some yield or cut earlier and not have the buds as mature as you would have liked
I s.
Best wishes

@hashimoto appreciate the advice. This is my first forray into growing outside and also my first experience with mold. Normally I'm harvesting mold fruit from outside but we've had a perpetual drought.
Hahaha you said plantS, as in plural👊, that photo is a singular lady, which is why I'm so determined to get a full lifecycle from her.
I started listening to podcasts a couple months ago which is how I found Percy's, I've listened to every episode. I've also listed to every episode of "I live in a very dry environment" he is great, that quote is almost like the "2 weeks" on Percy's though 😂. I'm really trying to gain as much insights as possible. The one gromie I have that does outdoor here is always in a correctional facility so seeking advice from him is next to impossible. He did say that our environment is very challenging, the season is just a little too short and it's almost not worth it.
Hi mate
We very similar, I listen to every episode of hohg and I very much enjoy listening to the interviews.
I have been growing for more years than I can remember lol but always kept myself to myself , joining percys has been fantastic, I have learnt so much and it brilliant to join a community of growers. I enjoy sharing grows and knowledge. No assholes here too ( well apart from myself) lol
Wow it one plant ! I thought it was a couple at least . I understand where you're coming from wanting to keep it going to the end of harvest , just keep an eye out for mold. It's one of those where, nothing and then it's everywhere. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
For your next out door maybe try some autos or look for fast flowering strains , they don't flower any faster 8 weeks average but they do come in a month before your normal photo period plants . They should really be called early flowering not fast flowering.
Happy to help
Keep growing
Best
