How much rain does it take to start roting buds?It's been raining here 4 days now & i seen where it might rain off & on for 8 to 10 more days.I was wanting some rain but not this much lol.I have 3 ladies that needs about 7 to 10 days more until i take them down.I know last year i took some that was still wet from a rain & they molded some during curing.If i have't to take these down how can i stop the bud from molding?I have 8 more that look like there going to take another 6 to 8 weeks.The alaskin ice is a slow budder for sure i have 2 plants that are huge but just now starting to bud & the others have finger size buds which makes no sence to me.Thx for any ifo.

I am currently fighting bud rot- mine started from heavy fog in the mornings and once it started raining it spreads rapidly- the initial culprit for me was catipillars- the little pest were eating my buds left and right- then the fungi attached itself to the injured plant material-I was taking mass amount of rotted bud away a couple of times a day- during a lull in the rain a I sprayed with serenade- it rained a couple of hours after that but the serenade helped- I also removed all, and I mean all the fan and shade leaves to help with air circulation- yesterday I found only 2 rotting buds versus gallons the day before- i resprayed with serenade yesterday due to the fact it has continued to rain - I could go on about my battle- I have read any and everything I could find on bud rot- serenade and air circulation are the only things that will stop it- GOOD LUCK my man you are going to need it with bud rot and rain

Hey Man ! Sorry to hear about the bud rot...that sucks!I had it in a greenhouse I did a light depro in.Hard to get rid of...I have about eight ICE plants that are just starting also(to flower).They are nice bushy plants but it takes forever.Where I live they are talking SNOW on tuesday.I sure hope they finish before I have to cover to protect from frost.Have you grown Ice before??
