Everyone is busy, seems like a lot of folks are getting it (bud rot of some sort but mostly botrytis) this year all over the world.

B) I know this is the plant problems section, which is usually the place for plant problems...but did you go into the outdoor forum and ask them there?

You are correct, I selected the wrong variety/clone for an inhospitable valley for a moderate weather plant. The bible said the purple kush I have the problem with has a mold issue and needed to be watered from below and I did that most of the time except the one time when trying to protect them from a heat wave did I water overhead and my problems began. I guess I either need a perfect grow environment or to not grow this strain.
I did learn alot. My biggest problem was putting two plants in one pot and no amending the soil enough to start off. Why do I say this? In two cases I moved plants mid-veg into other containers well amended with blood and boan meal and other time release nutrients and these plants look lovely and budded much much bigger as compared to their sister who is stuck in the older crappy peat moss bases soil. My bogglegum looks and smells like candy. Hope I don't mess it up.

The only practical advise I could have offered, was to take 'em inside where you control the enviornment. Cannabis deals with the heat pretty good, and I gurantee they deal with heat better than they deal with the combination of bud rot, insects and winds strong enough to break branches.

There's a link in my signature regarding dealing with (indoor) heat issues if interested. Been 102 to 111 this past week here, and I flower in a small shed outdoors, with 2 400w HPS's. (and a cheap, small a/c) I have NEVER lost a plant due to heat, but I do monitor them throughout the day.

Sincerely...better luck next time, and good luck with the cure. :jointsmile:

Thanks for the input and the link to the shed.
I've had a lot of success already making edibles out of shake and lots of people liked them. Worst case scenario I make some nice oils and butters that knock your socks off and eat special chocolate chip cookies all winter.

Correcting my earlier shout out...It's to BrockSampson not Savage...I'm a typical stoner in some ways...I forget names.
