what is bt im a new growwer and im trying to get some good tips

The post above yours links to the info

Been using BT for years, works like a charm.

What if my plant is 3weeks flowering and I sprayed soapy water all over her what would happen please help

Thought I should post this in here, I built this screenhouse structure with fine insect netting last year for the sole purpose of taking care of budworms. Without it, we get ridiculous infestations of caterpillers just wrecking shit. I used BT with ok results years previous but it just wasnt the same, and they are still being birthed b4 they ingest the BT, that just wasn't good enough for me. The butterflies and moths now can lay alllll the eggs they want, they wont make it to the plants. I owe it all to "Mrcouchlok". He was on youtube for a while posting his outdoor and was extremely popular for a while but then vanished. I copied this design almost exactly from Mrcouchlok, im still so grateful that he ever posted his vids on youtube. I was on the fence about going all out and doing something so drastic to prevent the cat's, but he inspired me, and told me to do it and im glad I did. I hope he somehow sees this cuz I never got to show him when he closed his youtube and I know he would be stoked! I learned a lot from that dude. Theres always challenges but now I dont have to worry about cat's, EVER. I suggest anyone who has extreme problems with budworms do this, you can do it as big as you want or as small as you want. Heck if I had one plant I would cover it. Good luck as always I know how frustrating cat's can be.

i have only grown one so far outside last year, and had no probs with any bugs. i put two of the same type out a week or so ago. (jack herers). looks like cataillars to me. from moths. i spread stuff on the lawn to keep bugs down. my prob with my one last year, was i had to harvest it on oct 19, because a start of bud rot. im lucky. i have only had gnats (and one potatoe bug), lol, inside. gnats come in all organic soil. i would freak if i saw my buds with worms on em. never heard em called "bud worms". whats the real name?

If you haven't bought it yet, it's time!
