Preventing budrot? What fungicides are safe to use in flower?

Just trying to get an idea what I can spray with, if anything.

I know to keep the plants out of the rain and make sure there's airflow etc. I live in a very windy area so I hope the airflow part is covered. I put the plants in the garage when it rains. But I would still like a fungicide, if they can be used without harming the buds, of course.

Any suggestions? :hump: I'm in EU, but any suggestions welcome, I can look for specific active ingredients etc and find European alternatives.

Can you get Regalia in the EU?

Never had luck with regalia and budrot. Works a little on pm, but if you're outdoors, you need to find strains that will do well in your area. Talk to your local growers if possible. There is no fix all with budrot. All you can do is minimize caterpillar shit on your buds, lots of airflow and cover them outdoors.
Moving them into your garage might help, but if it's raining, it's still going to be humid in there. I'd use some fans.

Hmm I don't think so. The closest I can find is


But that's a different knotweed than what Regalia is based on, it seems.

Gotcha, the strains I'm growing are mold resistant and meant for climates like mine, but I'm still worried for flowering!

I do have a fan in the garage, so I hope it will do. But humidity will be high, as you say. Might have to get a dehumidifier in there just in case. Will likely need it for drying anyway.

Thanks, I'm purely hydro indoors and I've had good luck with Regalia for PM. But it was something I thought might be worth a try.

Plants will handle the rain unless it's a downpour for an extended period of time.
If your humidity is high without decent airflow, then the chances of bud rot will increase.
I would just find the sunniest section in your yard, put a good stake to support them (even through the bottom of the pot into the soil beneath the pot.
Once the plants get big, they really will be impossible to move unless their an Indica, which usually are shorter than a Sativa.
If you have good air movement and humidity below 70%, you should not have any problems.
Air movent is key though.
Good luck ☮

Keeping em healthy and making sure they get morning sun on em to dry em out is the best you can do pretty much I don't think there's any magic spray that will make all that difference

Nice to see a use for it it is bloody horrible stuff we get it over here it's a invasive plant not as annoying as the 9 foot giant hogweeds we get too but still it's a pain to get rid of
