Hope someone can help me...

I have two Northern Light Plants, very close to be ready to harvested. They have been growing in a small budda tent.

I've noticed that when I open the door after the light out period that moisture has formed on the plants and on the walls of the tent. I haven't used any form of moisture control.

Last Thursday, I took a small bud sample off the largest plant. Quick dried it and tested it on Friday.

Today (Wednesday) I've opened the door to circulate air and switch the lights on and noticed that white mold has grown over about a 5 inch area near where I took the cutting on the largest plant.

I have given this plant the cut cut and disposed of the area that had the mold growing on it. The other plant is still in the tent, under the lights.

My question:-
1. Is it safe to now dry and cure the plant that had the mold on it?
2. Will the other plant get infected by the mold?
3. Should I keep the two plants isolated while drying/curing

I think the tent has been way too damp and cold which has made the mold get a foothold.

My overall question is - has my first grow been ruined at the final stage?

Cheers in advance for your help.

If you catch it early, hit it with rubbing alchaol (sp) If it totaly covers the stem everything above is shot. If only half the stem is molded hit it with alchaol every second day. It can be stopped in its tracks,

Now look into the center of your biggest tops. Your next war I bet will be with bud rot. Get your humidity down below 50% asap. If you see little mold spots, bust out the alchaol again. Welcome to the mold wars.

Answers to your questions

1)Cut and remove all molded plant. Smoke it at your own risk...That means no
2) maybe... get your humidity down.
3) yes.
