Bob Marley said it best..."Everything is gonna be alright..."
Check it out homes. Lets theorectically believe you might be in socal. Let me tell you something - its big time mold season around there dude. Be here is what you have to do.
The mold - you must remove all moldy leaves(If there are a shitload - you at the very least have to trim the moldy parts off - the rest of the leaf will proabably end up molding later but at least you have something to use photosynthesis for the next couple days) The spray works best as a preventive medicine - serenade is good but its preventive and only lasts a week. Forms little white crusties on the leaves when its baked on under the lights - so you can see that it dries out quickly - especially in a grow room with high temps and less than sufficient circulation.
Step 2 - Spray serenade. - Get a small dehumidifier if you can.
Step 3 - You gotta get the fan in there ASAP
Step 4 - Tie that big top bud down. I think what crispy is talking about is...
1. tie a knot around a good spot below the top of the bud - maybe like 6 or 7 inches down from the top. 2. take a nail - drive it into the rim of your pot 3. Take the other end of the string and ::gently:: pull that bud down - then tie the end of the string to the nail. Looks like you "lassowed the top and pulled it over." That is kinda like LST - but LST is more about bending and pruning during veg. You will make it to seven weeks dude! I will post some pics soon with the same strain growing in hydro. The fan will help more than you can imagine. Socal has wierd mold issues this time of year.

One more thing. It is hard to see whats going on with the plants - it looks like you are taking pics with the HPS on right? Please turn it off and take them with the room's natural lighting if you can - people will be able to see more of what is going on and help you.

You only have 3 weeks to go and you spent alot of time growing it already. You will make it to week 7 at least. Think about it - only two more weeks of nutes, then the final flush and you are done!You actually want the leaves to turn yellow and fall off during the end of flowering. Its a sign that the plant is taking nutrients from the leaves and putting them into the flowers. If you look at some pics of trees that are almost done, almost every leaf is yellow - especially near the bottom but usually on or near the buds also. Are you absolutly certain without a doubt that it is mold? Did you add some potassium to your mix? The plant uses a shitload of potassium during flowering - magnesium supplements are good too. If it is mold for SURE, just trim the leaves. I live in socal also and just had to do the exact same thing that you are doing - thats why I am confident that you will be fine after a good trim You will make it man, I promise. Once you cut it down then you have to worry about mold during the cure. The fun never ends eh?

Good guess, I do live in Socal, any way, I trimmed some of the mouldy leaves and the fan FINALLY got here! Im going to wire it all in tomorrow afternoon. Upon closer inspection the kush plant is starting to purple a little bit (more or less from the cold temps at night. I took some non-lighted pictures to better illustrate the top cola of the kush (tall) plant.

First of all - thank you for posting those pics - It is much easier to see what is going on! Ok. The top bud looks a little crispy but holy shit it looks like there is a lot of good buds underneath! The color of the leaves is normal for week 6 of flowering. In the next few weeks, expect many to wither and die - its all good. At this point, the plant does not need any more nitrogen. Just some P and some K (0-1-2) and dont over do it. Its kinda funny actually about the mold - I think that the exact same mold strain was chillin on my plants. Looks like my leaves did. Fuckin mold.
Anyway, I was medicated and misplaced my camera somewhere around the house. As SOON as I find it, I will show you my plants. I feel like an asshole for not posting them already. Peace.

Haha "medicated", someone is a fan of weedtracker.com?? haha its ok dude I know how it is. Its actually day 1 week 5 now and im going to lowes later this afternoon to get ducting. This mold is such a bitch but I'm glad I could get it SOMEWHAT under control before I had to scrap the whole project. More pics though (ill update every other day because I finally charged it).
Cheers :rastasmoke:

Wow.. it turned purple, I didn't know it was THAT cold at night. I thought it was some kind of gross mold but its just purpling with heat stress marks so it looks like shit. I think im going to put the fan back on with the lights so it doesnt get too cold. Anyways, day 26 week 5 going steady for now.

sorry to hear about the mold. my first grow turned purple too from low temps. my temps got down to 22 during the dark period for a few days in a row. but still came out good. so dont worry you will make it all the way to harvest as long as you keep the mold under control
