That or make sure you spray them with a fungicide every-time after it rains. Potassium bicorbonate
What about morning dew?

IMO as long as it gets absorbed and doesn't linger all day your good. If they get wet and it just stays wet for hours your in trouble.

We’re you doing any preventatives prior to getting it?

try a fan outside, shaking the plants off every morning and after rain, and making sure you plant somewhere where they get good morning sunlight
also greencure is a great preventative, but i've found its usually caterpillars/worms shitting in the buds that ends up causing the mold

Beside all the good advice above, spray some BT to kill any caterpillars that might want to snack on your buds

Oh man, oh man, oh man... Great question... Sucks so much ass, my own crop was decimated by it last year, and to this day I am still plagued by the worm-poop that often leads to Botrytis.
For now, neighbor, I tell you this: Prevent caterpillar worms, with every fiber of your being. Get predator bugs, befriend your neighborhood Chicadees (the MA state-bird, who dines upon the worms that poop on & burrow inside our plants), get insect netting, neem-oil, IDK... But Botrytis starts with the green wormy beasts. Prevent them NOW from getting into your garden, or get rid of them NOW before the flowers really bloom.
And I fully agree with what Nizza recommends, 100%...

Literally shake it off. A car shelter is perfect for your area. Or even a PVC frame with visqueen over with vents.

Nope.. that is some catterpillar damage or some moth worm.. spidermites dont eat leafes,they suck juices from plant leafes so damage looks a bit different..
Against Botryitis try to find Chitosane Hydrocloride and apply before bad weather starts for prevention....

Could be anything but I doubt mites.

Try spraying some spinosad at dusk for the bug issues.

Maybe u can use a keyboard cleaner to pressure blow the poop off the bud? i dont know havent tried it yet because i havent seen the little fuckers in a while and im in week 5 now of flowering, so ive already ordered a 10x10 net for my bush to keep the moths from getting to the flowers but im thinking of spraying down the net with some Thuricide BT from home depot, its like $8.

To prevent I recommend a bit of keefir or milk in water as a spray. Working well and I'm up near latitude 60
