Could Use Some Solid Advice

Okay so i have 11 plants... about 3 weeks ago one showed some mold... so i treated it with fungicide and milk water and other things... about a week later(2 weeks ago), another 2 plants showed a little mold. Since the strains im growing are all pretty much a little different (sensi seeds outdoor mix) i figured it was because some are more mold resisant than others... so i just delt with it the best i could.

lastnight it rained... not much or long but it did.. i went out today to do my daily mold picking and noticed every single plant started to ave mold, bad in some cases.. it grew so quickly over night its rediculous... so i chopped 2 of them, the 2 closest to being finish even though they could have used another week possibly two...

The problem is its going to rain for the next 4 days... pretty heavy too without much of a break inbetween. the rest of the plants can be finished in 2-3 weeks (although i would prefer 3-4 weeks). My question is what the heck should i do!?!? The amount of mold that grew overnight lastnight with the rain was absolutely insane.. i wont be able to put them in a greenhouse or a cover over them until tuesday probably...

what should i do? please i need advice... i worked so hard and this mold is killing me... im in upstate ny and the rain this year has been nuts! its getting cold and im stressed out... like really stressed... sorrry for the messy text and not much info but i have to sleep ill try and give more info tommarow... thanks in advance... ill really appreciate it.. this is why i love this site!
 
Sorry to hear man, that's tough. Seems like if you don't cover them then you're only option is to cut. Premature bud vs. Mostly moldy bud and hopefully some decent peak harvested buds...your call man. Goodluck
 
Cover them if possible and keep air circulating with a fan of somesort.

A light spray with very light H202 and water may help fight the mold back a little but

if its too bad I would chop to begin the drying process and stop that mold.

Id also rinse in a bath of H202 and water when I chopped.
 
I just got a roof over my ladys heads... hopefully this will keep them dry with this next batch of rain coming my way!

few questions...

how bad is bad enough to chop (mold wise)? like if over 50% of my buds have some sort of mold on them? or how should i know that i should chop because of mold?

Also the two plants that I chopped already are hanging and I cut out as much mold as I can but... everyday I go to check them the mold keeps growing back. What can I do? Hasalife, you suggested a h2o2 bath... how do I do this? this mold is really getting to me! Its so frustrating. Also one more question...

When trimming out mold on either cut plants or living plants, is it possible that I am spreading the mold because I dont sanitize my scissors after digging into the mold?

thanks so much for any advice... such a busy and tough time of year

Yah dog.. i know how you feel. I'm surprised MOLD is talked about more in these forums. I big storm was gunna hit in Santa cruz a couple weeks back and i had to harvest my plants early.. thus losing probably 2.5 potential more pounds. and I lost atleast 1.5 pounds to bud rot... AND I WAS using bud rot stop NUTES!! wtf. I walked away with bout 3Ps .. but I coulda had 6-7
