    As I see further into some old ways. If the plant has mold then the trichromes are already damaged and the THC content is contaminated. In my above post I advised alcohol, as this does take mold off plants, but I forgot about the Trichromes on the Cannabis plant as holding the active ingriedent for healing/meditation, ect. The most likely cause of the mold is poor ventilation and too much humidity.

    Not much to do at this late date. Spores are already active. For future plantings, NEVER work in the garden when the plants are wet or even damp from the dew. Also watch out for signs of mildew on OTHER plants nearby or on the way to the garden. You could be getting spores on your clothes or shoes from common weeds and carrying them to the garden. Burdock is a notorious one for harboring mildew. And tomato plants. If you have more than one "garden" always work in the one that is NOT infected first... And the wear clean clothes the next time. It's damn contagious!

    Once the spores are around, you may have to completely move the garden to a different area next time as this stays in the ground and surrounding area without at least sterilizing the dirt... And it's pretty impossible to sterilize the dirt in an outdoor garden...

    Once this stuff infects your plants you may as well harvest before it gets any worse.
