bud worms...

i noticed my top bud is looking kinda crispy (thought it was being burnt at first) so i take a couple minutes to inspect my girl and i saw 1 (little) brown catepillar eating my buds. so i sprayed the entire girl top to bottom with ORTHO ecosense. on the bottle it has catepillars on it and says it kills them. also i have only seen 1 of these so far. i am week 51/2 or 6 weeks into flower. im just hoping i'm not infested.

every worm/budworm thread i have looked into has had little to no help with the corret way to kill/remove these pests.

help would be awesome

Safer Caterpillar Killer SPRAY. I had a bad infestation, and it took care of all of them. I had to chop early due to the rain causing budrot from where the cats chewed, but the Cat killer worked lol. good luck

oh i hate those little feckers. does happen though. Sneak up on the little cnut's and pick em right off the plant...... pointless using spray imo they just hide and get right in your buds and stay there and eat your nice bud from inside out. ladybird/ladybug thing really will sort them out, and they wont eat your plants. perfect

I had the sam problem last year I had to harvest early before they killed my whole crop. We ended up picking them off one by one with tweezers and putting them into a bowl of rubbing alcohol. Usually if you see one there is a lot more that you cant actually see because they tend to turn green and look just like part of the bud...

i wouldnt use that ortho stuff while flowering it has neem oil in it and well leave a bad after taste on tour buds

^^ better than having no buds at all. plus knock on wood. i havent seen any moew since the spray. i am close to week 6 into flower. sativa dominant planbt. what should i do? cut it down early?

i wouldnt cut them down eaerly i would take a chance r your plants outdoor?

Went back and forth cause of bad weather. I wound up harvesting early, im actually smoking my first blunt of it now(speed dried a nug) Its pretty good nothing to write home about. I got a small crop due to early harvest the worms and nitrogen poisoning. This plant went really downhill when she went into flower. I'll post pics in a sec
