I use Dr. Zymez Eliminator...can be used throughout grow up to and including day if harvest. Also works on bugs.
Botrytis is systemic. Once it starts you cant stop it with sprays. Actinovate and serenade work great as a preventative but wont stop an infection. I agree with what @thumper60 said in regards to genetics, plant health and weather as the biggest factors when combating botrytis.
you no it.i have been fighting gray bud rot my whole stinking life.the only thing that works for me once it starts is 3%peroxide an most of the rot I get is from cats shitting in my bud in late aug.
I wouldn't use the essential oils in flower ... I believe they might ruin the trichomes. But not positive on that
oops. i meant potassium carbonate. One of those -iums haha Potassium Carbonate ftw!
LOL well I guess my plants never survived with next to no bud rot then. I also must be seeing things when the rot does not grow back. lmao
If you're using those sprays prior to getting mold I bet they work well. I did mention their effectiveness as a preventative. What state are you in?
The active ingredient in GreenCure is Potassium Bicarbonate. They both work great for PM. When I get bud rot it is brought on by caterpillars. BT seems to take care of the cats. Prayer might help with better weather.
gotta be careful with greencure never spray if the sun might shine,i burned a bunch of plants few yrs back.
I can't use BT because my sister is raising monarch butterflies, and the milkweed she collects the eggs from is pretty close to my grow. Though she loses most of the eggs to ants before she can get them. I'll just have to watch for signs of caterpillars, though I don't know what species would be a problem around here.
Yeah, I learned that lesson with hot peppers a while back.
most of the cats I get here come from the white moth the same moth u see around cabbage an brussel sprout plants.bt wont kill butterflies but kills larvi went they hatch an start eating the plant.I can't use BT because my sister is raising monarch butterflies, and the milkweed she collects the eggs from is pretty close to my grow.

Sorcery might work best for the weather
the 3% saved my arse last season!I've applied 4 applications of a 3% diluted foliage spray and it seems to be working
Not really any cautions. You can spray it until day of harvest. But it's very expensive and worth every penny with stuff that's hard to knock back.
