Failure! Everything Was Ruined!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have been having trouble with cut worms on my indoor grow. My soil bins which are kept outdoor got their lids blown off during a storm and apparently those bastards laid eggs in my soil. I sprayed BT on my plants and the top surface of the soil. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I've even had bad years where my outdoor plants were half way through flowering and loaded with worms. I had to spray each and every bud until the stuff was running out the bottom but the next day there were dead worms on the outside of probably at least 30% of the buds. You just have to make sure to spray early enough in the day that it will dry off from the outside of the bud so the sun won't burn them and make sure to do it on a day where they will be able to dry out as thoroughly as possible to prevent more problems with mold.

I looked up cut worms since I'm not familiar. It turns out that they a caterpillar from a moth or butterfly and so BT should be effective. I would even do a full soil drench just to be sure. I would expect that BT is the same from one product to the next but the one that I've personally used and can say for a fact has been 100% consistently effective is Bonide Thuricide.

i hear you there, i had to stick the nozzle of my spray bottle in between my buds to make sure they got waxed with that shot because these little bastards were still in larvae and were so hard to see until they were big n shitting everywhere in between my buds. after the first two sprays id go thru my buds with some latex n tweezers n find the little shits pretty much dead paralyzed. you really gotta spread your buds open n spray in between other wise the problem never gets solved
