Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

Noticed a buldge on the stock with a thumbtack size hole. Day later this stuff was oozing out of it, so I performed surgery with a razor blade and caught the bastard a little further ways up from the opening pictured. Found 1 more on a different stock so removed both stocks. Luckily no damage was really done yet, i myself did more by chopping the 2 big top stocks off

i hate them bastards i have to go out into my garden every morning with latex gloves and tweasers and pick the fuckers outta my sweet smelling buds and clean up the mess they made if that means chopping and throwing away buds i also find tons of eggs as well and fuck its just so many..good thing i got alot of colas that arent infested yet im not afraid to dig into my sticky buds to make sure they are clean this is my first grow and i will be prepared for em next yr.

I noticed yesterday one of my outdoor plants had a couple buds were the pistals browned at the tip...I freaked,but didnt dind anything initially. I finally found what looked to be a tiny caterpillar and squished the fucker...I cant find anymore but the plant is 6 weeks in flower..this was the only plant effected...help

Thanks, great pics, I knew they burrowed into buds but damn, now I'm going to have nightmares. I'm going to treat with BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis) first, If that doesn't work, I'll treat with pyrethrin now that I know I'll be washing my buds anyway.

Wow man. That's unbelievable. I never would have thought they could get into the stem. Mind blowing. Caterpillars and worms are the worst pests.

I'm a couple years too early to really know how to put vids in the messages like you did, but here you go.
edit: and the internet did it for me lol

Awesome. Thank you. I think a lot of people are going to find this helpful. It's okay to wash your buds boys. Dealing with a little powdery myself on one of my strains. Only one plant so far. I trimmed off the lower impacted area earlier today. I wonder if you can spray a water / peroxide solution right on to the plant.

Get yourself a spray and Monterey BT quick. Every plant you have needs to be sprayed.

Something about the skull and crossbones with the words CANCER POISON.... uhhh thinking it's not neem.

Holy shit good catch.

Now that is disgusting

Let us know how it turns out. I would soak them every two to three days at this point. Soak em man.

Little bastards love taking top colas. It would be one thing if they took a piece on the bottom or something but no, they want our prime real estate.

So another day in the garden. Removed all lower bud impacted by the powdery. Did a general clean up on all plants snapping off any yellowing leaves. I noticed they yellowed leaves retain a decent amount of moisture. Like a petri dish. Mixed up a 32 oz sprayer with a peroxide water mix and gently misted the whole crop to prevent any spores from spreading.

When I removed the lower impacted bud, I dug in for an inspection. Not a single worm found and I really dug in. This grape pupil is dank as hell so to see no worms in smaller lower colas is a good sign. Not seein any tops with white hairs mauled over on any of my strains.

Still can't believe that guy who had the worms in the stalks from the earlier post. That's madness. Little bastards.

Still can't believe you found that on two stalks. Amazing. Looks like it entered where the branch / node meets the stalk.

I must've stunned it earlier with neem/karanja as it wouldn't move. No other reason to be fully exposed in the sun and it didn't move when I poked at it. I stuck it to the closest yellow martyr trap. I will wait but soak all with BT in short order.

I bet the Jews sent him in there as a secret agent to mass murder his buds so that the government would take our rights away









Just kidding, only retarded neo Nazis come up with ridiculous shit like that
