seasonal problems

Bud rot, with all the humidity and rain down south, is rampant. With several plants near 90% ready, would you cut and dry or trim out rot?
In the past not alot of the problem solved by trimming. would need to order fungicide so two more weeks of losing bud. Comments???

I use diluted (1 tbsp per pint water) 3% hydrogen peroxide for many issues. It knocked out the leaf spot disease a few years ago and saved my girls. For bud rot, first the entire plant gets sprayed and then the rot is cut out with a stainless pocket knife blade dosed in the soultion. I spray the entire plant during flowering. It seems to discourage the moths from laying eggs which become bud worms. Spray after each rain for best results. It doesn't affect taste.

You have too much rain and I'm in a drought area. Only 2" rain since beginning of July.

Locally, one thunderstorm dumped 3", in the same 24 hour period 7.2 total inches. 11 straight days with measurable rainfall. It seems theres no middle either feast or famine.
I hope for a pound, but happy with what I get. Recently a big bust has all in the area had all growers a bit paranoid.

First rainfall in 12 days. 4 nice plants all 4 with rampant bud rot, trimmed all I could see, thought about it for a while but, yield will suffer, so this AM Harvest of those is a must. Rain will be back in the PM, 10 -12 dry ozs. will be less than I wanted but with what I already cut, will give me 1.5 lbs to last till next season. Supplemental income from this years grow "ain't gonna be there"

Good karma to all who grow.
