I have gotten lots of rain this week and its been cloudy. I have found bud rot on 3 plants. I cut whole bud off and cut out mold.
I really wanted to let them ripen until at least October.
Has anyone had success using hydrogen peroxide solution or milk to slow bud rot down or is it a lost cause?The weather is supposed to be good for a few days then a week of mixed showers and sun. Covering plants isn’t an option. Any advice would be appreciated. As of now I am just going to check daily and remove as I see it. Trichomes are white with a couple amber .

Potassium bicarbonate is another affordable treatment. Peroxide is ineffective against bud rot.
Depending where you live it will be available at a good nursery and/or brewer’s supply.

@Myfriendis410 uses it and recommended a few weeks back. I have never used the bicarbonate, but ZeroTol is expensive if that’s all you’re gonna use it on.
I spray it on all our berries, grapes, & veggies too.

I hit some on my GL and left it to see how it did and the potassium bicarbonate dried it right up.

I can’t found zerotol to my country (Greece).
And I can’t asking what else can I use because weed it’s illegal.
So can you say what else can I use or could you tell me exactly how the disease is called to ask for the appropriate medicine?
Is the same like this photo…

The disease is called botrytis. It affects raspberries and grapes. It’s also known as gray mold

Thanks for your help… 
Can I ask you something else???
If you now zerotol active substance is hydrogen peroxide???
A homemade solution with water and hydrogen peroxide (1% - 3%) you think it works?

ZeroTol & Hydrogen Peroxide are not the same thing at all.
ZeroTol is hydrogen dioxide & some kind of acid. Different chemical altogether.
Peroxide is effective against powdery mildew but not botrytis.
