like the Coqui frogs of Puna, Botrytis is here to stay! But there is a way to control this problem to a minimal. As you all may know I suffered big time last years dddue to 'Bud Rot'. Hawaii is famous for that as much as it's famous for it's tasty buds.
So between 'Mealy Bugs' & 'Bud Rot', I'd say I lost close to 50% of my summer crop last year. So I told myself, "that's it, this shit ain't gonna fly another year with me. So I did some research on this matter. I wanted to get diease resistant strains for this year. I eneded up with several varieties of seeds that were mold resistant **LOL** from Amersterdam. But with the first major rain that my European girls got caught in this year 25% feel pray to Botrytis once again??? Even these tough European strains can't handle Puna's Botrytis problem.
So once again I was off to Hilo to the local supplier of my mediums & nutrients to see what I could come up with. I bought a product called "Garden Dust",from 'BONIDE'. This shit is awesome!!!! Not only does it stop bud rot in it's tracks, but it's a pesticide too! Two methods of application. Either dust the problem area. Or make a tea, and spray it on. I highly reccomend this product for anyone suffering these dilemmas.

OMG!! you read my mind puna!! I have that product and I have yet to use it!!! thx

Says it's 100% organic.

Might have to give it a try. I too got hit with the bud rot late last year.
