I kept noticing the tips of some of my buds getting brown and having this soft mushy feel to them. Found some type of larvae eggs at one point during the flowering cycle. Tried to get rid of it by breaking off the bad parts but some of those eggs must have hatched into some type of caterpillar. Anyway, I just harvested and through away a small portion of bad looking bud that was damaged my this satanic looking bastard. No idea how to avoid this in the future. Maybe some type of spray or pesticide. I'll research that and try to combat the problem next time. I still got an ass load of really nice bud and through out a very small portion. It's just really nasty seeing these live creatures invading the beautiful buds. It is nature so I guess your going to have this once in awhile. Here are a few pics of the creature and then the brown looking bud tip that was damaged my it.007.jpg001.jpg

Look up Safer Brand Caterpillar Killer. I've had a couple of those little shit stains eating my lovely nugs recently.

Thanks guys. I'll get those bastards early next year. First grow this year and never sprayed. I'm lucky I only lost a few nugs and they didn't wipe me out completely. THx.
