If you're still around, how did this turn out for you?

Yes you can pick the worms at night -- use a flashlight but remember that you'll stress your plants like that with light in the dark hours. And forget the other sprays. Get a caterpillar killer that has BT in it. Safer Caterpillar killer is one of the two I got, from a garden store. The other...

I would be comfortable using BT right up to a week before harvest. I'd go up to 4 days before harvest if I was outside and I saw worms 4 days before harvest. I'd spray with BT in the early morning and then spray with water only two days later to help things along. So the most aggressive would be...

You want good bud or pink hairs? Harvest when your trichomes are right. Hairs are just trich holders. :)

Dude, you gotta at least read the thread a little first...jeez... Google "safer caterpillar killer" to buy online; Home Depot also has one called Thuricide which I have, but I've only used the Safer brand because that's what I opened first and it lasts FOREVER. Look at the ingredients of any...

Where'd you get your greenhouse materials? 300 is cheap! :)

I would NEVER put tap water on my ladies. That shit comes out of the faucet with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of almost 700 for me. Reverse Osmosis (RO) water ends up about 35 TDS, and Distilled is 0, just to give you a comparison. Most of that is shit you don't want your plants to have...

Hi everyone. I could really use some help at this stage if you have a minute. If I need to move this to another area, please let me know. First pic is Kala (Killa Kush), wide-view. I've decided she will definitely be a mom, and my goal is to get as many clones as possible while doing an LST...

BT is available fucking everywhere. Google it. Home Depot and Lowes carry it. Look for a little bottle about 4 inches high with the ingredient BT (Bacillus Thurigen...whatever). EVERY garden shop that I've checked has it listed as worm/caterpillar killer. Using Sevin is a bad idea unless you've...

Holy fuck. Hope you have a lot of friends who can trim.

I add 1 tsp / quart (32 oz) if I already see worms, and then drop back to 1/2 tsp / quart for maintenance spray every 2-3 weeks. But be sure you check the label. My bottles are between 12% and 15% active ingredient (BT). If your percentage is double that, use half as much as I use. If it's half...

Check my edit above. You can spray up to 3 days before harvest. I played it safe and didn't spray for the last 2 weeks and I had a dozen or so very small worms, the ones that hatched right after the BT killed the previous population. It would have saved me maybe a half ounce out of a final...

Google "safer caterpillar killer"; Home Depot also has one called Thuricide which I have, but I've only used the Safer brand because that's what I opened first and it lasts FOREVER. Look at the ingredients of any caterpillar killer in any garden shop for BT "Bacillus thuringiensis". Edit: if...

Hey VG, just wanted to catch up with you on the subject. I harvested my six plants and as I harvested the budworms got worse, because I started harvest about 2 weeks after the last BT (didn't wanna push it) and finished 4 or so weeks after because of the different strains. Bottom line is that I...

This is what a budworm does to the top of a cola (in this case the top cola of Odele). I've opened the bud where there was ONE funky looking fan leaf and a brown calyx or two. He was in the middle eating. You can see the worm at the top still sticking to the bud, and the light brown...

Maybe it's your username! :) Just kidding! Sorry man. Did the worm get the buds or was it a borer?

Just to clarify, do you actually immerse your bud in water before hanging them up to dry?

If anyone with new ideas is still reading, I'd love to hear your perspective.

Any other opinions out there? Just looking for what YOU do. Thanks!

Thanks everyone. I love giving out rep left and right. I have a buddy who hangs inside a big cardboard box (two taped together actually) with a little door cut and a 4 " fan sorta blowing in that direction but not actually on the buds. That's the way I'm leaning now. Does anyone think...
