No problem, Tom. Its practically impossible outdoors to avoid botrytis (mold on buds). The spores are everywhere and it only takes the right conditions for it to take hold. Mold can ruin a nice cola in a matter of days. What I do when harvest is near (like now !) is to keep a daily watch on the buds. The first spot of brown rot I see on a leaflet or flower is my cue to whip out my scalpel and go to work. You will normally find more gunk below the surface. Cut it all away and then a little extra. Now its been raining these past 2 days on my spot on the planet. I shake all the colas to get as much water as possible off. They should then dry out easier. The shaking process also exposes mold, like when a cola snapped in half today. Fucking budrot inside. So I cut the complete cola away, cut out the gunk, and saved 80% of the very nice and tight tail. Shes drying right now in my veg. dryer and i'm going to smoke some of her in about one hour..
