Thanks everyone. I have concluded it was Budrot, so I eliminated all the buds in question. I also thinned out the plant and started harvesting from the bottom up. (Popcorn anyone?) This plant is still going to yield me quite a bit. I took MGG's advice and made plastic covers for my trellises...

I am hearing that Trifecta works against Botrytis Cinerea and that you can spray it up to the day of harvest. I only have two weeks left so I don't know if that would help...have no effect....or make matters worse.

This outdoor MauiWowie plant has been performing very well until we got hit with a couple big rains. The plant is yellowing and some buds are browning out. The trichomes are all cloudy but very few are amber. Should I selectively start removing the colas with browning buds or should I wait?

Got the BT and will apply tomorrow. Buds are starting to look good.

I have not yet had to spray anything. For my other nursery plants I use Biotene All Season Horticultural Oil for insects and powdery mildew. I was told not to use that and only use Neem Oil if required.

Thanks so much.

I encounter powdery mildew and all kinds of caterpillars and insects on my Japanese Maples in August here in Maryland. I posted this close up picture elsewhere and was told not to worry about these bumps. Do you agree?

Now I see the flowering and yes you all were right....they are very noticeable. BTW, a few comments were made about the 3 leaf blades but shortly after I transplanted my plants to the outside all of the new leaves are 5 bladed. They seem to be doing quite well.

I noticed the same thing on my otherwise healthy plants.

Plants just went to flower last week and are 5.5 feet tall. I'm expecting that they will get much taller. No pests or problems so far.

I just noticed that after you mentioned it. All have 3 blades (see pics). I see it could indicate some sort of problem. I looked at photos of other Maui Wowie plants on ILGM and they all look to be 3 bladed. I hope it is genetics. Tks

The days are getting shorter already. I get 14:30 of daylight now in MD and by end of August it will only be 13:08. I see on some discussions that it will be when the daylight falls below 13:00. Still not sure.

I am in Maryland, and they just passed the new law that allows us to grow two plants per year. Geez thanks guys! The law makes no sense with all the conditions they added but I am taking advantage of it anyway. I am a licensed Nurseryman, so I have to be careful so that I do not lose my license...
