Help - Powdery Mildew and Bud Rot Prevention

[Lake Marine]

I've been a novice grower for about 4 years. I have a homemade 3x3 indoor grow box and also grow a few plants outdoors (one in ground two in bags). The outdoor plants really grow well but I struggle controlling the mildew, worms and rot issues. Last year I grew Durban Poison that was supposed to be somewhat resistant to rot but the buds were huge and I had to throw the majority away. I never have issues with my indoor grow just the outdoor plants. Last year I sprayed with Neem oil but still had issues.
Anyway - how can I get ahead of and control the mildew and rot issues I seem to have every year with my outdoor plants?

One thing that might help with the budd rot isue is to use BT once a week to keep the worms off. Just a little munching from a worm and that's a major place to start rot.

Thanks. What is BT?

BT is an organtic spray that kills leaf eating worns. They take one bite of it and cant eat any more. They litterly starve to death after eating. It onle affects leaf eating worms and certain moths.

It's the main goto thing for worms.

Any nersary will have it. I get mine from Amazon.

Add silica to your grow. Will make the plants much more resistant to pm strong and hearty

Zerotol! Game changer for my outdoor grow. You can spray up to the moment of harvest, especially effective for PM. No residue! I sound like an ad, but this stuff has saved me multiple times! https://www.arbico-organics.com/product/zerotol-hc/plant-disease-blight?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw65-zBhBkEiwAjrqRMOz4yG6SbQDutLK1jx_4f1wg322mwduk-1eftUHHFW1D9Bs5Qdp00hoClU8QAvD_BwE

underrate advice, so true there nice scientific explanation for this, silica molecules cover the plant and the PM and molds find too much resistance and can't put their "legs" into the plant to start colonozing

Yes you can! I occasionally use BT as well. Just don't spray all of them on the same day.
