looking really nice man!
what a beautiful strain, the c99 or95 that you have there, would be nice to see it closer at hand, seems like they grew really large, a well producing lady it seems like!
much luck, good harvesting!

Hey BC, incredible. You've been dialing in for a while and I think you are getting there for where you are.
Good growing.
Good growing.
Thanks guys, thanks alot!
Well, it looks like my hopes for a long run of dry, warm weather into October has been dashed, the high temps are dropping into the high 50s/low 60s, and it is raining, and not really fooling around at all.
It looks like the temps will slowly rise back to the low 70s, with chances of rain every other day for the for-seeable future. Maybe I'll get lucky, and get a week of sunny weather in October, but I doubt it.
One thing is for sure, NO MORE WATERING!
Now I'll struggle to make trips as often as I can to do mold checks. Fluctuating temps, rain and dews(when its clear) will start working on my girls, but I am pretty sure I'll get all of them at least a week into October, and most of them to two or three weeks in if they need it.
I have a feeling my temps will be lower in OCT than in my 2005 season, but I doubt it will be much rainer. Cross my fingers and hope they can stay out as late as I need!

dayyuuum those a dank BC. Dude tell me you smashed that grasshopper, just looking at it makes me cringe....
pipeline- Yeah, Spring and Autumn weather in Oregon "is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get". Some Autumns it won't hardly even send one or two showers during Sept/Oct and stays around 65-80 for highs well into Oct, and other times it just seems like Winter can't wait to be known.
I guess after that downright hot/dry May/June we had, the weather decided we needed a cold/wet October, is this weather Karma??
Oh well, test buds taken so far have inidcated that if mold hastens the harvest I should have bud that is plenty stony, perhaps this is why some seemed to get such a start on the bloom season?? Heh heh
caligreen- Nope, didn't crush the Cricket, thay don't really eat much
Well, its pretty much just mold and Trichrome checks from now on......

High BC; nice buddage.
Looks like u guys are getting similar weather like us down here in Northern Holland.. it's cold, 10-15 Celsius and it has been raining all week
Temps will rise soon so I fear a very moldy seasons end...
Goodluck with the last few weeks!!

Hey BC, I needed to check in. I am working now at my new gig near the Canadian Border. This is a peculiar town. I am forced to going to the streets for my meds though, and that has not been 100% sucessuful. I was ripped off the other day by a couple of desporados. It has been less than two weeks now, I will get settled eventually. You are correct about the season change not messing around. High winds and rains here. I was wondering how you and the girls were doing when I try to get to the salt mines in the morning. Nice work still, I am so happy you (we lol) made it this far. What a long season a good outdoor grow is! Stay safe, and dry!
Update!
Update!
I took a trip out to my big plot(HM#3) with my freind 3town, we also kept a eye peeled for Deer. I wanted to check on my big plot and make sure no one had snapped branches or mold. I really didn't think I would find mold this early, even with all the cool/wet weather we have been having.
C99 x OR95-
C99 x OR95 with bud mold-
OR95a, 3town gives a thumbs up-
OR95b-
OR95 bud with tinges of cold induced purple in the leaves-
OR95a top third-
The plot looked good, but I did find several small spots of mold on the C99 x OR95, and a very small spot on one of the OR95s. The C99 x OR95 plant at this plot is the same age as the one at HM#1 and HM#4, and all three grew with a very bushy structure with very short spaces between nodes. They had some of the look of revegging clones.
These older plants were started in mid-Feb indoors(under 16/8), and were placed outdoors in late-March when the light cycles were a bit short(13/11), this caused the plants to show sex, but allowed them to continue growing without going into full bloom. The plants showed no sign of mutation until June/July however, and the OR95s and OR95 x NL started with them have also not had this reaction.
My other C99 x OR95 plants were started later(in mid-April), and were vegged under longer light cycles in late April/ earlyMay(14.5/9.5) showed no such mutations, and grew rather lanky, with wide spaces between nodes, not great for a indoor production plant, but perfect for mold resistance outdoors, since it allows the plants to dry well between rains and dews.
The mutations of these C99 x OR95 have been a puzzle to me all Summer, near as I can tell it is a reaction to stress caused by light cycle change, but I'm not sure how to interpret the data. Does this mean maybe that this cross has a tendency to be a early finisher conpared to my others? This does seem to be the case, all of my C99 x OR95 are showing much stronger signs of finishing than the rest, and seemed to start earlier.
I do believe as I was atecipating a few weeks earlier that these mutated plants indeed will be more prone to mold than my other plants, they will probably be the first completely harvested plants.

Here are some weather statistics for my area, for Sept 28-Oct 2:
---------------------30 year avg-------------------2007---
avg high temp-----------75F------------------------61F----
avg low temp------------48F------------------------46F---
avg humidity-------------60%----------------------76.4%--
The weather pattern we are in is just killing off any remaining Summer, usually I have a fair ammount of dry weather, and sunshine this time of year, but this year it just seems like Autumn was ready to be here very early, the first sign were starting to show in the native plants of the area by the 2nd week of August, very early!
This has been the coolest August/September I have seen here in 2 decades, a matter of fact this whole year was strange. This Winter had more snow than I had gotten in the previous 5 years combined, Spring was very sunny, warm, and extremely dry for my climate, hell, May was nearly as warm and dry as July usually is. Summer was just as dry as always, but it was cool, with several bouts of cool/cloudy days, and a few more dust settler showers than usual. August and September are the last weirdness in a long line of strange months.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My strategy now is to keep checking my plants as often as I can hike out. I'll be harvesting most of my plants at the first signs of ripeness, say 10% amber trichs.
Any individual buds that show mold problems will be taken as they are found, if any plants show significant losses to mold, say more than a couple grams (or more than just a few spots) will be subject to partial harvest of the largest/thickest colas, or the whole plant if it seems to be in danger of a major attack.
As it stands, all my plants should be in their harvest window between today and 15 days from now, and all should be of sufficent ripeness to be harvested if necessary because of emergency.
If these plants were close to home, I'd simpley check twice a day, and trim mold out as i find it, leaving the plants to reach their full ripe potential, but since I am growing guerrilla, and can't be there every day, I have to make hard decisions concerning harvest, but I won't do anything until mold is bad or the plants are finished.
All and all, bad mold seasons do happen here, and its something I am ready to deal with, its not a big deal, harvest will be good regardless

Sorry to see that mold, seems like your gonna be in for a fight this yr.
~snip~snip~snip~ w/ a dab o alcohol between. Don't wanna see any more gooey brown spots.
Good wishes for some sun your way, HL

Urban, hello! That plant has not been completely harvested yet, just a few that had some mold.
Highlighter, so far despite the shitty weather, only this one mutated plant has a significant problem, and I feel most of my normal plants will hold out to the beginings of their harvest windows, but if there was year for disaster, this is the more probable one.

Garden's looking great, backcountry! Intense magenta pistils! 
Keep a close watch on the molded plant.... If weather stays moist and it continues to grow mold, it would be an easy starting place for it to spread to other plants.... It may be best to pull it if its touching or close to some normal plants, especially if you can't check them when they most need it...

nice pics B.C. i sure wish i had set up my auto-irrigation this year. its gettin done this winter for sure, so keep up with your KILLER threads man.
Yes, my years of growing in my unpredictable harvest season has given me a well sharpend sense of when its best to hold tight, and when its time to cut and run.pipeline said:
I do not personally believe that budrot is as easily transfered from plant to plant as you indicate, I believe any plant will have as much potential to get it when the conditions are right for that plant, regardless of weather infected plants are nearby or not, the plant should be as likely to get it whether she is alone or not.
I see budrot as a indicator that your buds are getting pretty close done, and the plant is not supporting there health as much anymore, making them weaker and easier for fungus attack, the same as a human weakend by injury or starvation may be more easily infected by a virus.

I wasn't speaking from experience with mold doing that, but many diseases will follow that pattern. At least the fungi would have a place to produce inocculum which can effect other susceptible plants in the area. Doesn't necessarily mean it will always move I guess.... 
Yeah, despite my typically warm/dry summer, my Autumns can be quite humid and wet, its pretty much expected that the cold, dark rains will start sometime between Oct 1 and 31st, usually when my buds are at their most mature and ripe. Mold is usually expected most years.
I usually have found in the past that when growing several strains together(like in a porrly ventilated green house), and several plants of each strain, that mold tends to be a problem in the plants of one strain first, with no others showing signs, then after a while several of another variety will show bud rot, and so on. Despite the fact that one plant may have lots of mold, plants of another variety on all sides will not be infected, but the infected plants sister in the same plot or even in a seperate plot will probably be getting signs as well.
Thicker indica type colas, older/mature buds, and over ripeness can help bring in mold, also extensive periods of cold/dim weather seems to increase the likely hood because it is basicly slowely killing the plant by cutting off its food supply from the sun and warm ground.
I fully expect to find mold in both of the other mutated looking C99 x OR95 plants when I visit them this evening, but not in the OR95s or OR95 x NL.

Hey BC. Love to read your thread.
I have to concern about mold too. When I see signs, I part-harvest the lady.
And yes, mold seems to be much strainrelated.
I hope to find a few good potent moldresistent girls among my many strains this year.
Anyway, I can say as you...total harvest will be good.
Peace
Paddi
