Monterey BT? Washing the bud after and saving a potential loss?
Hey there! Good eye…white splotches are from the cheap lattice that I bought, it has white dye in it and when the morning mist condenses it drips those spots. Just have to wipe them off occasionally but I missed a lot. Also bird shit is rampant! So…caterpillars are absolute monsters! Mind you, I don’t kill them when I find them, I save them for my buddies lizard. They hide DEEP into your biggest kolas. They eat the stem burrowing inside out and shit all over the interior of your bud causing bud rot. If you don’t find it fast enough it will spread through the whole plant and the hundreds of hours of work, money, time, sweat and blood is turned to shitty rot! Let me tell you, they are an absolute terror in the garden!
Ahhh well yes caterpillars sound very awful haha. Here I was imagining just a few fan leaves nibbled on. Well for the cats, best thing I read was to: introduce parasitic wasps(who TF has those lol), buy and introduce praying mantis, or neem oil.
Neem oil is great in veg. Soaps even better but I’m in pretty late flower and my whole thing is trying to get in there a bit in order to stop the caterpillars. They literally hide until your bud looks like a blonde with big tits and an ass that tastes like French vanilla ice cream and then start eating it from the inside. I think I will literally get a small sprayer and lightly pull the buds to the side and dribble a little Monterey BT down the stalk every foot or so. That way if they are in there, they will get a bite of some of that hot sauce and end it. It’s will not get on the buds much and I’m washing them anyway. Somebody stop me or not!
