Hi, I also think too much water is the problem, but, there are a couple of other insects that will cause that.
1) Aphids
2) Mealy bugs
3) Thrips...I am going to guess that Thrips would be the other cause because you can easily SEE aphids and mealy bug!
You almost cannot see thrips.
Take a white sheet of paper out and put it under the buds hold it flat while you give the buds a good tap. If you see tiny 1/16 of an inch light brown to black insects that are as thin as a babys eyelash. Those are thrips. They are sort Of hard to kill because they get into the tight buds and pesticide won.t hit them.
Some people mix Karo syrup with the usual garden shop pesticide to lure the trips out into the open so that they will come in contact with the pesticide and Die!
I hope it just too much WATER!

It sounds to me like to much water, or it could be a caterpillar problem. check your leaves for infestation
