I am on top! For now.
What most of you are talking about. Are cabbage worms, cabbage Loopers and Diamondback caterpillars.
I have found that using a step ladder, to where you can get at your highest buds. Look down for a 1/16 inch diameter pinhole. It will usually have a couple turds or a little bit of brown around it. Put rubber gloves on peel the buds back and inspect the bud on the cola go between everyone of the buds. That's what you have to do, to look for them. Go to Amazon and buy a product called tulle. It's like a wedding veil material. I buy it by the roll 108 inches wide x 70 feet long. 38 dollars a roll. Sunlight goes through it.
I put it on at night time. And take it off in the morning. You have to always remember the Moths will always go to your biggest and tallest, sweetest buds first. This is your notice! Time to get the tulle. Time to make sure your other plants are all safe.
I only had one plant, remove 10 molded buds. Also probably 12 worms. I removed 10 tall buds. The rest of the plant are doing good. I have not had any sinse. Because the tulle will not allow the moth to land on your buds to lay eggs.20240910_191256.jpg20240907_100015.jpg20240907_100248.jpg20240907_100522.jpg20240916_193009.jpg

Oh, I forgot. Don't think you can save the buds. I throw the buds away even if I find a turd on it. It will start bud mold.
You don't want that in your curing room. Blowing around.
