Anybody ever have an issue with caterpillars only going after one strain?? Ive found at least 20 caterpillars on my grandaddy purple over the past couple weeks and only one or two caterpillars on my other three plants…
Almost seems like the caterpillars are intentionally choosing the grandaddy purple…

The moth that laid the eggs picked that plant and not the others. Some plants are more susceptible to pests. I had a plant a few years ago that i ended up cutting off the ends of every cola on the plant while only finding a couple amoung 11 other plants. This year ive found 3 live ones on one plant and some dead ones on it and another plant. Monterey BT is what killed them.

@plumbdand That does make sense, hope my GDP can make it through another 4 weeks🤞 Im afraid to spray BT with the plants already being well into flower. Ive just been going out there each evening with a headlamp and combing through the buds!

@plumbdand Decided to get some Captain Jacks Dead Bug! Seems highly recommended on this site and multiple people have said its safe to use through harvest. Hopefully that’ll help.

BT is safe like Captain jacks. I would also get some Dr Zymes and purecrop1. I would Spray Captain jacks every day for 3 days then skip a day and switch to Purecrop1 you can add Captian jacks into the purecrop1 and spray that every other day. Id switch from Purecrop1 to Dr Zymes every few sprayings. I don’t mix CJ or BT into Dr Zymes. Also at least once a week I thoroughly and vigorously wash my plants off with water about an hour or two before spraying.
Also If Im dealing with mites I do not go to another growers house or have them come to mine until well after everyone has harvested. The last thing I want is to spread spider mites to someone else’s plants.

Still just using Gaia Green dry amendments applied each month w/ an applications of Dr.Earths All Purpose any time I see some leaves start to yellow. Watering set on a 30min drip every other day. If I see leaves start looking sad on a watering day ill give it another 30min drip the next day!
The battle against caterpillars and WPM has been insane this year!! Captain Jacks seemed to really minimize the caterpillar appearances. Treating WPM with a diluted peroxide spray or just removing leaves that have more than one blade affected!

The plants are about to look a whole lot different tomorrow, LOTS of rain and gale force winds, pretty sure the Blueberry Muffin will have to be harvested wayy early, all branches seem to split right now…
