QUESTION: I done it again. Its the yellow buds that falling off. I just dont know how else to explain.
I thank  you again for your patience. You can tell I know nothing about plants

Answer
Hi Nikki, ok check the buds real close and see if there are tiny dots on them, this would be indication of aphids or mites (tiny insects), these would suck the buds and they would fall off before opening. Sometimes they are hard to see, so look real close. Nick
