spraying chelated iron before this happened or because of it. the pics of whitish leave is not botrytis.
If so the spraying caused this. the other pics are rotten moldy bud that mimics botrytis.
botrytis outdoors is usually just inside BIG buds. not early onset like this.
be careful with iron. not needed except in rare circumstance. rest of plant looks healthy??

The spraying of iron certainly didn't cause it, what he has is a textbook iron deficiency. Can be caused by over fertilizing, pH being too high, lockout issues, etc. but that most definitely is an iron deficiency, you can tell by the way new growth is affected with extreme lightening and dying off. Check out this standard picture of iron deficiency, compare to his pictures, especially picture 3.

There's always a chance to survive, it's a very hearty plant that will do whatever it has to to live. Just try to figure out why it came down with such an imbalance (Is there lockout in the soil due to extremely high pH, is there too much copper, etc.) and correct it, it should recover. Check out this plant that got absolutely mangled by bugs, they ate everything down to the cotyledons, but I didn't chuck it and it responded by shoot out a side branch and kept trucking. Just an example of how the plants can recover from seeming doom (even if only on a tiny scale)have a chance to survive or kill myself from now
