Last year growing in NC was a disaster. The dew point and RH is so high that I had bud rot all season. I looked at the average RH and its in the 70's up until November then it's still high 60's. I started my plants a little later this year but still think I will run into problems with mold. Any other NC growers out there know how to combat this? http://www.climate-zone.com/climate/united-states/north-carolina/charlotte/

Horse Tail Grass tea or Serenade. Organic, works on molds/fungus.

I tried the Serenade last year after I had mold. Maybe it will work if I do it before.

Caterpillars are the culprits, when they're done eating the bud starts to rot.

Have you tried a steady treatment of neem oil? I experience the same weather conditions in Florida and that's my remedy...g/l
