Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

Ugh I got these things. I've been using azamax but I guess not a good enough concentration. So I'm gonna increase my use and keep a eye on it. I think they are only affecting one or two of my plants but damn!!! I hate to see them destroy my perfectly good plants. Already claimed most of a auto ak plant. I may have to harvest early if I can't get this shit under control. They seemed to come from no where. My plants were fine the other day, now the top cola was rotting on a auto ak and a caterpillar was munching on the outside so I kno it was the culprit.

has anyone try ed vegg'n for over a year?

lol yea i would have to see that as well. i could only imagine the taste of that.

NEMATODES!!!!!!!
I've had budworm problems for the past few seasons. We put nematodes in our garden this past fall. I've still not seen even one caterpillar (budworm). My neighbor still has budworms this season but we don't.
However, I have seen some little brown moths, I'm sure from the neighbor's yard, so we still check daily.
We are harvesting our Huckleberry right now........with no budworms.
Nematodes must be introduced to you garden in the fall. Budworms pupate in the soil during that time.

i got some of these.. one of my white rhinos' buds were falling off so i looked closer and i see a nasty green caterpillar in the bud! it really scared me cus it was looking right at me & i was high as hell..

so my Q is.. should i seperate this plant to prevent them from spreading to my other plants or will this not make a difference? do they turn into some type of moth or butterfly? or do they just die as caterpillars. thanks.

I don't think the caters will travel from one plant to the other unless their touching.
At this point you will need to check your plants daily. The caterpillars can be small and brownish grey, up to the big green ones. Look for damage then follow it to the worm, which is most likely buried in your bud. When you hang your buds to dry, the worms will leave.
Some people use BT but I don't know if it's too late. Read through the threads. There's lots of info on BT use.
You must have the moths in your yard. Basically, they go from caterpiller, to pupae/cacoon (in the soil), to moth that lays eggs on your plant. That's why we used nematodes in the fall. So they would eat the pupae and therefore no moths to lay eggs. We tilled them into our garden. It seems like it worked because we have had no caterpillars, but yet our neighbor has many.

fuuuck.. i hope my other plants dont get these.. and on top of this.. it rained last night and earlier this morning.. so many problems these past few days! i have a plant maybe 2-3 weeks away from harvest i hope this one comes out good before things get worse.

This is the main reason i switched from flowering outdoors. Because, besides mites, I never had problems. Then I was introduced to the garden-moth. I actually found two caterpillars on my vegging plants, Inside.

Well, it is Moth-Season.

nice plants there mate ,wish i cud grow em out door lyk that in england

I ran into those little bastards last season
.I could not keep up wit h them.My whole harvest was shit.I dried it all out,and the worms would come out of the buds after they were in the jars.I was picking worms out of jars for days.Smoke was harsh,and nasty.But it packed a good buzz......WORST HARVEST EVER!!!

i fuckin hate these bitches!

Hate the worm farmin eh?... Me too... i cannot beleave they dont make some type of butterfly moth repellent... like i said... a screen house is my next years project for sure... But then i said this last year too...LOL

my plan since i did not use BT early enough is to spend a little bit of time each day picking off the cats. You can see which buds they are in because the hairs in that are get prematurely red. I will do this for 2 more weeks and try to make it to October 1st. My goal was OCtober 20th but these caterpillars are eating the buds too quickly. I've researched this topic for hours in the past few days and i can tell you there is not a solid solution. chop now and get premature buds or wait and get moldy, poopy, half eaten ripe buds. Can't win eirther way.

Hey, what about the worms,,,I hear dried worms covered in choco can be a real treat...lol

I'm not sure what kinda bug I have, its small, white, in the soil and is eating at the bottom of the stalk of my mom. It also has antenna's

thats y the camera was invented..

white flies from down under...lol
