Caterpillars on My lovely flowering plants!!!!!

Hey in the last week we have run into our first major pest problem... Caterpillars They are not eating the buds just the nice big healthy leaves, however there are too many spaces for them to hid and I can't seem to get rid of them by hand. What can I do to get rid of them with out putting anything near or on the buds??

Mixing jalapeno, soap and water together and spray on the fan leaves. You can also try cinnamon around the base of the plant.

i've found one or two on my plant but I've alway sbeen able to remove them by hand before they caused too much damage. They aren't smart, they don't try to get away or hide. mine didn't at least.

Butterflies need THC, too.

I would trade caterpillars for mites ... FML
