ok im growing a ton of berry ryders autos outside in totes. the idea was to get about 10 grams or so off each plant. i didnt know how big this plant get so that was my first mistake. i also didnt fill the totes to the top since i went broke and could not afford to buy anything else. so i noticed a lot of bugs around my plants and garden so i heard if i sprayed with B.T. i could get rid or any bug that ate my plants. i noticed a lot of lil eggs a well. I picked up some stuff from home depot called
Thuricide Bt

I sprayed about 2 times in the last week. did i spray to much? and could spraying this stuff too much cause enough stress to cause my plants to hermie?

No it won't but many other stressors will. I worked with many strains of B.T for a living and know this product very well.

OK so there's a good chance It was something else or bad seeds...I was giving over 200 of these seeds. Now my outside grow is at risk......I was hoping for a few pounds when I chopped these...will almost 100 in totes should I keep plucking 5he sacs or look into a product that could help reverse the sacs

are all the seeds from the same plant? might be better to get some known seeds or clones and start over because all it takes is a few pollen sacks to ruin the whole thing and finding them all can be tricky..

No its probably the dodgy seeds you used at the start.

Could be alot of stress factors including genetics. But you got a crowded situation in those totes. Thin them
