Gorilla Gold possible Mould !

**Solo Quin** · 24-07-16, 10:53 AM

Hello I've got gorilla gold outside its not grow very big off off to a late start this season, I'm new to this outside growing stuff when I went to check on it a couple of days ago there was a small bud at the bottom a different colour to the rest. I chopped it off thinking it may be mould or dead bud which could turn to mould, its been light showers for the past few days on and off. When and checked today again not looking like it is going to get any bigger tbh some of the top parts of buds are turning orange now two little spots.

I think it could be moulding up trics are cloudy some a few amber looks done to me just mature bud just waiting for the mostly amber trics to show, is mould orange I thought it was like white cobwebs or something which there is nothing like this on it.
Any advice should I just chop it now before orange mould takes over is mould orange ???

Any help much appreciated
Regards SQ.

PS sorry no photos today my phone jacked in last week.

It's going to be quite hard to tell without pictures. Let's hope the cobweb stuff you describe isn't spidermites

Mould would normally be white, but bud rot will be a brownish colour.

Thanks for the quick replies I think it is bud rot because it spores when removing the first bit loads of dust came off, its no big problems one of the fastest plants matured really quick strange its the only one with all purple leaves the whole plant is purple buds are rock solid and smells lovely.

Have you got any experience with Hybrids from hell I was just wondering what's best to go by 8 weeks from when they start to flower or the dates he claims they would finish at, the flowering started to early for his dates going by 8 weeks or are they just better left to mature what's the harm other than mould of course.

If it helps any, here is a pic of my plant with early budrot (the far left cola, just an inch or two down from the tip)

And inside the bud when cut open:-

Cheers MC been a while since I was last online good to see your still about fella. Looks like the bud rot luckily its about ready anyway get down there in the morning and give her the chop see what can be salvaged. Only two corner of the buds hopes its not moved throughout the inside of the whole cola it doesn't look to bad we will have to see, plant looks very healthy though not very big some early sun grown green should be lush.
