Get some SM-90 before next crop. You use it at the beginning of your grow you can even use it up to harvest. It stops mold from developing. Sorry about your loss, and good luck.

It works on more than roots, it is an effective preventative for mold, which is a precursor to bud rot. Look it up

I was assuming it was an indoor grow. If not, then strain is imperative, otherwise you really can't do shit

Haven't heard of this product. I have used a few products and when the weather is bad no products will work.it is mostly strain dependent that keeps mold away.

You lost a % of all those? The blue dream should have made it,maybe cut early.super lemon haze don't know about and the other three bud density and structure is what failed.if you are coastal,should have had decent breeze,I am inland 60 plus miles and the humidity just sits in my area.every year I lose a bunch,just depends on how much.what else have you tried?and yes what @thumper60 said soon enough you can get what works in coastal Maine.

I thought you had an indoor grow, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I ran 3 strains this year. An old NW Florida strain my BIL gave me seeds too, and two kinds of Bag Seed Testers. The local strain had almost no caterpillars or bud rot. Maybe 5 or 6 worms with as many buds lost over a couple dozen plants. I ran 1 BST1 and 2 BST2's in two separate patches. Neither strain had problems in the dry patch, while both had problems in the wet patch. I lost about 5-10% of the BST1 and 30-40% of the BST2 in the wet patch. Plus I cut almost all the rest early. The buds were much thicker on the plants {because they got much more water}, so that had to be a factor. But the worms and the rot was on the two BST2's while not on the BST1 just a few feet away. Finding that right strain is key.

Bud Rot is a fact of life outdoor. No product exists to prevent it. Plant health and locally acclimated strains will help the most but still no guarantees.

Way too wet in WA this year. I lost almost half my outdoor crop to brown mold. I was able to slow it down on the stems by spraying with neem oil, but it was a lost cause. The larger plants were chopped early & ended up being butter bud. Even though it was dried and cured properly, the smoke was harsh and didn't taste good at all.
Fortunately, I was able to finish the smaller plants in my garage. There were bug & PM issues from being outdoors, but nothing that couldn't be managed. I'm about to start a new crop and plan on sterilizing the area while there aren't any plants in it. Ozone for the mold/mildew & hot shots for the bugz...

Not long and some will be available that will work great for you. Most strains from the big banks won't make it this way. Go back and check out some threads from the New England area. You will find a lot of information to help for next year.
