Looking for tips to prevent mold/bud rot outdoors. We've had a wet and humid summer and not sure if we'll get drier weather this fall. Any advice? Have heard both yes and no for defoliating. They seem pretty healthy so I'm hopeful they can resist.

In order to prevent botrytis you will want to focus on building the plants natural immune system. This can be achieved by introducing, silica, beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus which can be made at home, Trace minerals from sources such as basalt, azomite, montmorillonite. Making sure that she is always fed will help prevent Bud rot as well. Deficiencies can allow plant diseases to flourish because the plants immune defenses are weakened due to lack of nutrients. You may also want to consider spraying an organic fungicide during Veg and beginning of flower such as Mammoth Canncontrol & Dr. Zymes. I hope this helps a bit..

Hi—- I’m right there with you! I’ve been spraying my plants once a week with IPm solutions for the prevention of PM and mold. Dr Zymes is ok to use the day of harvest. Also, after any day, I shake out the plant a bit to get rid of residual water. This year is going to be a challenge for sure—- ive seen folks hit their plants with leave blowers too
