I feel for everyone dealing with bud rot, sorry dudes! Nights are dipping into the low 40s here, humidity is still high as piss. Warmer weather coming in the next couple days I put a tarp up to protect the ladies from the rain and dew, hopefully it was worth the effort, I had to bury some of my pots so I could connect the tarp to the fence. Cover is pretty janky lol, I’ll do better next season. Trying to make it at least another 30 days.

What kind of soil mix do you use? Your plants look really good!

Thanks!

The soil is real basic and honestly not that great but that's my fault. Wanted to save some money on soil so I made my own. Got a truck bed full of compost from a local nursery, 5 or so bales of Peat Moss, and around 10 cubic feet of perlite. Then I got out the plastic pool and got to mixing. Maybe 40/35/25 blend . Compost- Peat Moss-Perlite. I think I needed some Dolomite Lime but its doing alright. If any of the pots look like they might have some sand that's just from me digging around trying to bury the pots. My soil here is sandy as hell.

Damn, I’m knocking on wood as I type! But here in southwestern Michigan it’s been humid as hell and dipping into mid forties at night but no signs of bud rot except on one plant out of 8,but I cut that off sprayed twice with dead bug (all plants) and used my crop net I know i doesn’t stop pm or some rot but so far so good. Oh I only had one plant with pm hopefully I can slow it down at least a month more.

It's the humid air I'm afraid--been putting my fabric pots in the shed at night and during any rain/fog but spots of rotting still showing up.

Lee hit us here with some pretty good gusts but only 1" of rain and my place is well-sheltered to the north so wasn't all that terrible. Plants in the ground that weren't trellised got blown sideways and a couple plants split but I tied them back together and hopefully they'll carry on for the last few weeks.

Pine Tar, Northern Lights, and Gold Warp were in the shed so no issues there--other than the humid air (yesterday was dry, breezy, and sunny but back to drizzle today with another rainstorm due tonight). Hoping for some dry days this week, Northern Lights may be ready to harvest on the weekend and the Gold Warp isn't far behind.

I thought if I chopped the bud rot affected indica plants early I might save the sativa. No such luck. Checked today and it's spreading fast through the Tropicana Cookies. Chopped out a whole section of main colas this afternoon and did some surgery on the lightly affected areas. I probably cut out what would have been 1/4 lbs dried and cured. I have a month to go. I won't make it.

KNow the feeling! Lost every apex cola on my 7 x 6 ft Oilspill plant, to bud worms. Amazing how far down they can drill! Sometimes I think gardening is another form of masochism.

Serious! Hurt me baby!

I had good luck with the tomatoes, eggplant, and pole beans, but these spoiled girls are killing me.

For a plant cut at only 6 weeks and one day into flower, the small fraction that was rot free turned out ok. Not super potent, but smells and tastes great. I dry trimmed it and put it in curing jars today.

Im here in Cali and started from only seed this year and ended up with two spotted mites! Bud worms have also been very bad this year. I picked up a DynaTrapXL and have been catching a lot of moths in it so far. I did find the source of the spider mites. Damn neighbor has a infested rose bush up against and above my fence.

Bud rot is a pain in the ass. I had it really bad 2 years ago and it took over like wild fire. A windy day will spread those spores so fast to nearby tops.

Thanks, I just got something like this off Amazon.
