Thanks, yeah it did. They were autoflowers thankfully so I only lost like 3 months of time but it still stung having to trash it all. How's the humidity where you are? I learned that botrytis needs three things to attack your plant:
As long as you can control for 2 of the 3 you should keep the mold at bay. I built a cheapo cage out of 1x2s and window screening to keep out the moths, as well as some some outdoor rated fans to help with the humidity. The strains I've grown so far definitely need defoliation so I can't do much about not having open wounds on the plant. I've found college extension websites to be a very reliable source of free information if you want to do some reading!

I'm in the Midwest and it's peak corn sweat season ๐ I live up on a bluff though and it's super windy up here so hopefully that saves me. I had some pretty big buds last year with no signs of rot ๐ค
