Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

Thankfully, knock on wood, I've not had a pest problem this year, but....
A post about annihalation with extreme prejudice brought this back to mind....
About six weeks ago, while the girls were still juveniles...
Every time I'd go out to say HI to them there's this grasshopper who won't let me get close...
He takes wings and flies just out of reach, I deal with this for about three days, trying to sneak up on him...
Out comes the Co2 BB pistol, one shot kill, complete with the thousand yard stare....

Now THAT is extreme prejudice!

(I forgot to take his picture though)

Do you guys mix neem oil and insect soap in water feedings. And foliar
What to place outdoor or other plants to keep away pests???

No. Those things are for foliar applications.

I'd be inclined to apply them separately on different days unless label directions say otherwise.

On a couple of occasions, I've found that combining different substances can be counterproductive.

I'm a well-informed newbie. Here's what I do for pests outdoors. Working great -- maybe it will for you too.

Google and read everything I can read on insects that target cannabis
Read it again
Start with bleached pots and Foxfarm Ocean
Add Zho to soil as directed on package for defense against soil pests
Use a copper tape around the plant or snail pellets on soil surface; use both if you're not a cheap bastard
Examine the base of the plant and top and bottom of each leaf twice a day if it's important to you to have good bud. Three times a day if it's really important.
Azamax and SM-90 mixed according to foliar application directions every 7-10 days starting from the first sign of any bug and up to week before harvest
Safer brand BT insecticide (caterpillar killer) every three weeks up to 2-3 weeks from harvest
Safer brand organic outdoor insect killer (listed for whiteflies, aphids, etc); this is an insecticidal soap and water solution
Neem is on hand if any of these fail.
Everything is misted top and bottom of leaves.

Every night before bed I go out with a little spray bottle of OMRI organic vegetable pest spray (VERY weak solution with pyrethrins) and a flashlight. I shake the plants a little and spray everything that moves. I check a leaf or a bud randomly or check just the new growth or just damaged leaves or whatever. It's good for the soul to stand out there with your ladies in the dark. Keep in mind that if you're having trouble getting the plants to flower, some people say that flashlight could be the cause. Just a thought...

So that's what I do, but I'm really REALLY high right now, so who KNOWS what I just wrote.

Cool idea! At night or all day?

so far the bt appears to be working against the borers. I got the powder bt and packed it into the holes, dusted the plants, and the area around them. That was last friday. I've only found 4 new holes since then. This morning I found one for the first time maybe an 1/8 of an inch long. After finding that I open up the stem by a different hole but there was nothing in there so that's a good sign i'm thinking. I wish a woodpecker would come visit my garden for a minute.

A worm just killed my sour cream

There are better places to ask questions unrelated to bud worms.

IMO, "No!" is the answer. Opinions vary.

That blend will work for flowering.

I'm still fighting the budworms. I've been removing the little moth eggs for the past 2 mornings. And spraying with BT. It's not possible I got all of the eggs, so I'm about to find out if BT works.

ive ben lucky to not have problems yet . but white flys are around .

saw my first worm a few days ago. i gotta go spray again.

i stripped all the apples off my apple tree a few weeks ago. it's in the corner of my garden and i think it was attracting a lot of moths. the apples were all full of worms.

Those worms that attack apples are a bitch. I cut down an apple tree a previous owner had left. All the fruit were full of worms. I think the eggs are layed in the calyx, making them very difficult to kill.

I'm about due to spray again, as well.
