Budrot blues( outdoor)

[brick]

Caterpillars can cause bud rot as well. They shit and piss in the bud and it really sets off a chain reaction. Have a search with a torch around dusk or early in the morning when light just breaks. That is when I have found them most active and easy to spot. Look for little pellets of black poo stuck on the small leaves growing with the buds, if you see that then start searching. Fucking bud rot one of my pet hates. Used to happen to me in Victoria. Still happening where I am now, fuckit it.

i don't live in NSW but do agree with hashy , you prob have to expect some loss where ever you are outdoors & some years will be worse than others 

but there is no reason why you can't or wouldn't try to minimise as much loss as poss , might not get very far but i'd rather try something than just hope for the best

Newby outdoor question... How does one tell if bud rot is happening ? I've only ever had it once indoors... And didn't even realise until harvest ...

Thanks everyone for the input )) I can handle loosing the 20%, its not getting the plants finished for those last few weeks when all the goodness happens, that pisses me off. I picked up some bud factor x today, its probably too late, though I watered some in to see if it does do anything. I have been able to cover them so they are dry, but the mold seems to be systemic once it gets going. This is why I'm trying bud factor x  chitin  Here a link   https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=302271

Yep, bud rot a plenty here in the Gippsland ranges this year, some plants more than others. I had none last year

I'm expecting a lot of bud rot this season due to the rain we've had the past week knocking all my plants around. Going to start an early harvest on some of my buds and try and keep some others going to finish off properly

Spraying in already high humidity is prob not going to help , you prob needed to be spraying well B4 now to help build any sort of resistents , i have no idea on bud factor x

maybe some info here might help http://www.cannabis.info/us/abc/30006965-bud-rot-and-powdery-mildew or look into setting up a IPM integrated pest/pathogen management

otherwise like i said light dep the plants to finish when you want if that helps with timing low humidity where you live , there is no quick fix only trying to be prepared for what's to

come , positive is you know it's coming so you can get in early with protection in whatever form that might be , sprays , soil drenches , flowering a plant early , know your enemy

& yeah it's fun , heart breaking , empowering , disappointing , gratifying , ect ect ect
