This catapillar type bug is eating my buds. Growing GSC, autoflower feminized. at about 10-12 weeks now. What can I do? These guys are hungry.
Thanks
I will apply this tonight. Thanks very much.
You may want to sacrifice a bud and open one up to see if they are inside and eating their way out.
Now you are breaking my heart! I’ll do it and see what I find. Lots of learnings these days. Thanks.
Id also consider doing a bud wash at harvest, those caterpillars poop all over the place.
I’m a NOOB. How do you do a bud wash? Thanks Dave
In addition to spraying start picking them off and Killin them
Youtube search jorge cervantes bud wash andbwatch his videos. Its super simple 3 buckets badically 2 plain water 1 5 gallons of water 1 bottle of 3% peroxide mixed. Put buds in the peroxide water for a few mins to let soak in some pull out drip for a minute rinse in both waters one first then the second for a better rinse. Hang with a fan blowing on the buds for a while til they r not dripping and dont feel sturated at the very bottom tips then hang dry as normal and cure.
Just like mark said. I just use two big storage containers, one with the water/peroxide mix, one with plain water. The ratio I used was 1 cup peroxide/ 5 gallons water, I have seen people use Stronger mixes, so don’t worry about getting the mix perfect.
Thanks very much Mark (and Dave101)
