I don't know if mold is more common during budding, but the simple fact that there is more foliage to trap moisture under and in the canopy, seems like it would make sense. Also, I've never had mold issues and haven't read much about them. I don't know what RH mold needs in order to start growing, so I'll have to take oldjims word for it. Weed plants seem to prefer 60% RH, and I know that's plenty of moisture for mold.

And yes oldjim, I get that message all the time. Especially during forum "rush hours". It is extremely frustrating when you type some long thing out, then loose it all. That's one reason I like to compose my stuff in word or something, if it's going to be a fairly long post. Also, if you hit control-A, then control-C before you press submit, if it does go away you'll still have it on your clipboard. Then just start again and hit control-V for it to all come back. But you probably already knew that.
