if I was a worm, I'd be a bud worm

are they tiny green ones?

yes...tiny green ones...they are actually Caterpillars.

Well, any way you slice it (EW!) Caterpillars are not on your plant to party,... no!!

They are there to eat their way to the next stage of life, moth or butterfly. I simply move mine to other green plants nearby. This works just fine.

Moths and butterflies lay eggs at a specific time of the year depending on where you are. learn when they are searching for likely spots to deposit their eggs and cover your plants with fine screen or mosquito netting. A simple hoop net will do. In a few weeks, the chance of infestation will lower dramatically.


Hope this helps.

Also, if your county has a vector control or agriculture department, you can use them for excellent information.

Oops! Ok, in some counties vector control is limited to bugs like mosquitoes and Africanized bees.

I did not know these worms even existed until I found some on my buds during the drying process. I don't know how I missed them while I was manicuring but I did. I was wondering if the buds were still salvageable. They look healthy and so far none are rotting of have mold. I only have one plant and it would be unfortunate if I had to toss it. My questions are: Are there any health risks of smoking these buds if I remove all of the worms? Will the buds still retain their potency or will the worms affect it? I have found about 10 so far and I check every few hours for more in case I missed any. I haven't seen any of the eggs or cocoons described in previous posts. Thanks in advance for any advice (this is my first harvest by the way).

Nah, u'll be just fine. They hide inside the buds for protection from any number of predators. Eat in peace so to speak. Other than enjoying the very same thing as you (weed) they are harmless.
