Thanks, I'll cut off the damaged buds this morning. Is it better to completely saturate the plant with BT or would it be better to hit it more often and use less. With my veggies I hit it until its just wet then hit it again about 3 days latter.

use less more often. it burns. i mixed it just a little heavy last year, maybe a tablespoon and a half in a gallon of water. burnt my plants. i have been misting until the leaves just start to drip. i do this 3 times a week. i can see small holes in my leaves here and there but no further damage and no caterpillars. *keeping fingers crossed*

Use neem oil. It's safe for fruiting plants which means it won't kill you if you spray it on the buds.

Yep, that's the stuff. With veggies you can spray and harvest the same day. I've read that ranchers feed it to animals to ride them of certain parasites.

The directions say to mix one or two teaspoons per gallon so I mixed it at 2 tsp/gal and haven't seen any plant damage. I'm going to spray a second dose tomorrow. Its three times a week until I get down to the last two weeks.

I hope I can make it another month without getting to paranoid. The Mormon neighbors make me worry.

Praying Mantis solves this NP. They hatch in late July but mature and feed at the end of August when buds are blooming. We've had them established in our yard for 15 years plus. Very cool looking but also killers when it comes to plant parasites. You can buy them but it wouldn't help until next year. I have seen at least 5 sitting on my plants at any one time ready to eat anything that dares to touch my babies. You also don't have to flush after spraying lol.

Well, I meant what I said about Bacillus Thuringiensis affecting the taste of your bud. The last time I grew an outdoor crop (uhhh, 1994) I sprayed them 3 weeks before harvest, which I thought was plenty of time to wait, and the buds smelled like BT for a month after drying.

I've only lost about 4 buds. I removed the damaged buds cleaned them up, fast dried them and gave them a smoke. WOW!

I'm hoping I've got them under control but if not I'm going to harvest my plant. Its about two weeks from finishing but I'd rather harvest early than loose it all to the worms.

Its funny, my other plant shows no damage so far.
