i have 8 sativa plants 6 weeks into flowering and have a mold problem. its mainly on the fan leaves but just started to show up where the leaves are coming out from the buds. Ive been using the greencure fugucide once a week for the past 3 weeks and also whipping the leaves with botani wipes. ive been trimming off the leaves that get mold all over but i do not want it to affect the taste or overall yield. using canna nutrients, with their boost. dont really know what to do. . . .

all you can do is what you're doing and keep your fingers crossed. i hear a sulphur burner works well, but not sure if it'll help afto facto!

Whats your humidity at? Are you foliar feeding? You probably just have too high of humidity, i suggest getting a dehumidifier and bringing your humidity levels down to about 30-40%. And also keep clipping the leaves off that have mold, it may decrease your yield a bit, but its better than having to trash all of your babies, and having all that hard work go to waste. Also if i'm not mistaken, dropping the humidity will only prevent new mold from showing up, it will look like all the mold is gone, but anything that had mold on it prior, will always have mold spores in it. Which is very unhealthy to ingest in any way. I am a new to growing, but i hope this helps, and somebody else comes a long to help you as well.

but thats just my .02cents.

happy growing

Edit: forgot to ask, is this indoor or outdoor? i just assumed this was an indoor grow.

sooo you have mold on the leaves of your sativas????? hmmm sativas are usually very mold resistent one of there few pro's..... and mold only on the leaves??? ive only herd of it on buds man. got any pics? if its not on the bud, and assuming its mold i would just cut off the infected leaf
 
Is it starting to smell musty? Smell your plants. If they are starting to smell bad, I would just take them down and harvest what you've got before it gets bad. It can spread fast. You can detect mold with a blacklight fairly easily. Just turn all of the lights off, and hold a blacklight up to your plant. Mold gives off a light green color.

- Snip off any dead or moldy leaves.
- Discard any dead leaves laying around (mold thrives on dead plant material).
- Make sure the humidity isn't too high.
- Most importantly, make sure there is proper air circulation.
