I found some huge ass pieces of shit on a plant in my outdoor greenhouse and also some huge pieces of shit on the ground next to plant. I can't find the caterpillar though... How can I kill this fucker without spraying crazy chemicals on my plant that is late in flowering?

take your hands, grab the bud with your left and spread the nugs apart with your right. continue doing this until you find the caterpillar. after removing the caterpillar blow or scrape out the shit as it will cause mold. do this every time you find a dead spot or a dead leaf hanging out of a nug. also best time to get them is dawn and dusk. buy a bug zapper my moth problem is less than 10% of what it was last year. my zapper gets 20-30 moths a night no problem.

Thanks. Can you recommend me a bug zapper? Preferably from Home Depot or Lowes? Also, will the light from the bug zapper interfere with the dark cycle?

I got mine at osh but lowes has similar size ones. It won't affect the light cycle you put it 25' away from the garden. Though even if it's in the garden I don't think it would matter. I've got infrared floodlights in my garden with no ill effects. Expect to pay around 50$
