My hash plants are 12 weeks at 12/12...the buds are s

o dense I am worried about mold...what do I do to not have that happen?

Watch your humidity levels, and keep air moving over the plants would be a solid start.

One way to check for bud mold. If there are yellow fingers coming out of the dense buds pull on it. If the whole leaf finger pulls out you may have bud mold. Trichomes will also turn amber sooner then normal. Normal leaves will just break. I don't see any of the signs I had in the pics you posted. Dense does not always mean they will get it. Humidity levels and strain type will also effect it.

You will be good then. Trimming large buds down some will help you spot any bud mold you may have missed. I don't think you will find any but it doesn't hurt to check. If any mold is found you can trim it out in most cases. You will find brown spots inside the buds. Trichomes in these areas will be mostly amber.
