Thanks, hoping for a nice august with less rain and humidity to reduce risk of mold.Just wanted to pop in and say good luck. Looking good this far

Hear hear! Its been raining here for 3-4 days at a time per week for the past 3. Before that we had 25-30c (not common here in Scandinavia) for over a month with 6 weeks of no rain. Plants have been through hell but so far I only had to take down 1 from bud rot and that was likely due to pests. So so far so good but buds are fattening up…

What's it crossed with Rgd? Looking afie like for sure, but also has the same red leaf stem as the Iranian.

The Iranian are packing on the weight. One has pink pistils, which I've never seen on the auto affie, which makes me think they are not an S1 of the affie. Does looks alot like the affie cross pic you posted above Rgd!

The auto affie starting to fill in and smell awesome! I'm pretty confident that the Iranian isn't an S1 of this affie clone...

Well, going to test the mold resistance of the Iranian and affies, they are calling for rain for 10 of the next 14 days. 
Right when the buds are getting big and dense. This summer has been terrible!

Yeah, just cut a dozen buds off the affies that had some mold. I typically loose 5-15% from mold when growing the affies. Just depends on the weather. Gotta cross that sucker with a highly mold resistant strain!
Garden is doing great! Thats one of the issues growing short autos, is less airflow around the flowers. Taller flowers may bet better airflow, but of course if the rains are hitting and there are long dew periods, its pretty intense mold pressure. Just have to pheno hunt a few of them and see which ones hold out in the mold. If its not S1 that would be great! Would see more diversity in the line and may find plants with mold resistance.

Had to take an affie top and a few other buds today, more mold setting in. Weather has been terribly wet so mold will be a problem this year. Great year to test mold resistance of strains... Hopefully I can keep them going for a little while longer without loosing too much to mold!

Plants are just too packed with buds to resist mold, very little air space...
If you can catch the mold early enough, I just cut it out and let the rest of the flower grow and mature when possible. Try to do that as much as you can unless its a complete mold outbreak, then its probably time to cut some of the tops. Leave the small flowers below to ripen later when hopefully it dries out a bit.
