This outdoor MauiWowie plant has been performing very well until we got hit with a couple big rains. The plant is yellowing and some buds are browning out. The trichomes are all cloudy but very few are amber. Should I selectively start removing the colas with browning buds or should I wait?

Those "browning out" buds look like budrot to me. That said, I'm not an outdoor guy so I'd wait for someone to verify that.

Yup, it's bud rot.
Cut out all of the infected material & remove all the brown, dead and dying leaves.

You might consider an early harvest

Good luck

It's definitely bud mold.

Those brown areas look like bud worm damage to me. Just remove them. THink I see some powdery mildew as well. If it was me I would spray with Zerotol and then remove the most ripe buds and leave the rest.Zerotol can be sprayed right up to harvest and leaves no residue. Then spray again in a week and see where you are. Bud worm damage doesn't automatically spread to the whole plant, in my experience. Of course your weather forecast matters a lot here. If a bunch of rain is moving in, it might be time. Kind of day to day at this point.

I am hearing that Trifecta works against Botrytis Cinerea and that you can spray it up to the day of harvest. I only have two weeks left so I don't know if that would help...have no effect....or make matters worse.

Thanks everyone. I have concluded it was Budrot, so I eliminated all the buds in question. I also thinned out the plant and started harvesting from the bottom up. (Popcorn anyone?)
This plant is still going to yield me quite a bit. I took MGG's advice and made plastic covers for my trellises so I can keep the rain totals down somewhat. This pic is what it looks like now and I am going to let these colas grow until the trichomes start going amber.
