Just fungal sprayed my outdoor backup crop, aloha white widow and lemon slunk crosses I made in 2020…love sativa dominance in my crosses for their mildew and botrytis resistance..

How many more weeks does everyone think? This is my earliest flowering. Many pistils are already brown and shriveled, but some new ones underneath.

Don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks as if you got a pm issue…begging of botrytis cinera.
At least from your recent bud shot…9CC3FFCC-6F73-478C-87EE-2005F775C01D.jpeg

I’m usually a cool, calm, collective guy... You know don’t sweat the things I can’t control... but geez I’m constantly reviewing upcoming weather reports. Praying to Ol’ Mother Nature that she be kind enough for all those hard working farmers that they get their bounty! Lol :D Well, I did a closer inspection this morning on that single challenged lady (2 colas a bit of bud rot) and found a loose independent cat some distance from those colas. Like it just crawled out of a dang looney tunes cartoon! BT is on the way, as I can’t accept there be only one... just one I can see I’m thinking. The other 3 ladies all look good under scrutiny, but I’m officially on guard with the end run in play. Any BT application tips would be gratefully appreciated, as being first time outdoors I’ve never used it. Especially thinking this far into flower. Thanks!

Spray late afternoon when plants are in shade. Get bottoms and tops of leaves. If worried about pm add some potassium bicarbonate to the solution. If you see live cats next day don't freak, they need to ingest the bacteria before they die.

Follow the bottle directions, spray at night, cover your nose and eyes. Get btk, monterey is 99%, bonide is only 15%, probably some sort of cat goodies to entice them. Wash your buds when you chop and at this point btk won’t hurt, but if they’re in a bud its done.

I ain’t been treating nutt’n to date. Feeding/watering only. Im a seasoned indoor grower but really don’t know what I don’t know (geez I sound like the users I support) lol... I’m in a deck grow, so a lot of the detriments that “in ground or in grass with pot grows”. Because I’m not in/near the Earth, I feel I may be side stepping issues to some degree, I think... and I reiterate think, is I’ve been able to side step some common ground related issues to this point (btw, I’m amazed at what those yellow sticky pest strips catch Bam! :D Lol). The PM to a considerable lesser degree and bud rot are what I’ve been able to assess as my main issues this year so far (thanks to you guys good graces at sharing what that all means!). I appreciate every thought even if there’s differences in approach. I’ll be better in next years outdoor grow because of the advice from this group in particular for next years results. Thanks to all!:hump:

Thanks Kerowacked! Again, your insight is very much appreciated. I’m sure I would’ve just been out there slopping that BT spray aimlessly with no facial protection. No joke! I picked up some Monterey BT concentrate. Washing is foreign for my indoor history, but that was my fear... spraying and smoking. Definitely had me thinking. Do you have a wash routine that you feel gets the job done? I did cut out the affected areas but didn’t cut the whole cola above the rot yet btw...

I use Monterey B.t. and apply it with a standard one gallon pump sprayer. Fill the sprayer halfway, dump 4 teaspoons of B.t. in, fill the sprayer up, shake, pump and spray.

I have a quart hand sprayer as well that is OK on smaller plants, but I’m not about to use that on 15 footers lol
