I have some Budworms in my outdoor garden, picked a bunch of suckers out by hand 10-15 my plants are about 2 weeks from harvest is there something i can do to get / find the remaining ones like Bt etc or will that hurt my plants this far in?

would hate to crop and only find more budworms in the tops of my cola's...

i put a 3 boxs of moth balls in my back yard to help prevent it from happen again..

please any advice on what to do would be great thanks...

you need to buy some AZAMAX from general hydroponics, its 100 percent organic and safe to apply up to day of harvest and it will keep your plants bug free

I found one of the bastards in my seed run female today. He had a web in there and all the trichs were gone around where he was. I torched his ass with a butane lighter - and it's damn eggs.

I am currently sprouting some seeds. Today I was checking on one and noticed that the root had not taken. Upon further inspection I noticed that the root had fallen apart. I squeezed the seed and the inside white part came out. The next thing I knew there were about 5 white worms. Of course I murked em with the quickness. Besides the creepy factor of this has anyone ever heard/seen this before? Please help!

I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to comment on the Azamax recommendation for budworms..
I have sprayed my plants with Azamax every 7 days for mite control. This didn't prevent the white moth
from landing on my buds and laying eggs. Anyone wanting to get rid of the budworms, I would recommend
using Catepillar Killer made by "Safer" You should be able to find it at your local garden center.

For safety spray it up to 2 weeks before harvest.

Spray at night..

I have used Azamax to only have gnats come back it does not completely kill the larvae they lay deep in the soil. Here's what works and a grower I know uses it in his outdoor garden with success. Go to a hydro store ( good ones sell them ) and ask for predatory nematodes they should be kept in the refrigerator. They are a microscopic ring worm that feeds on the larvae and the bugs wont go near the soil because to them its like landing in a pool filled with hungry sharks ready to eat theose mother fuckers. You cant see them but trust me they will find the food aka the larvae!!!
