Glad to help man. Trust me, I feel your pain. Its even worse outdoors. Until I discovered the pepper spray, I legit wasn't able to actually harvest any of my top buds it was that bad. I'm not exaggerating when I say I lost pounds, they always go for the biggest and best buds too. 7+ gram buds completely ruined that had to be turned to wax or hash.
Look around on here, any grower that has come across caterpillars wants to wage the same full blown war. Even when you see one that isn't on your plants you'll start getting triggered lol
Definitely won't catch to the top buds, unless top buds start showing bananas. That seed in the first picture looks nearly fully developed at this point, so the banana sprayed pollen weeks prior. You'd notice seeds elsewhere by now, and likely will notice seeds here in there in your harvest but the entire harvest itself won't be seeded.
The buds that have seeds won't be as potent as the buds without seeds, but it's not the biggest deal really. The amount of pollen in a banana is significantly smaller than in a pollen sack; if you see pollen sacks you're fucked, but if it's only bananas it is totally no big deal. You'll likely have a dozen, two dozen seeds tops.
Look at it this way, now you don't have to buy seeds for your next crop. You don't even need to take clones. Those seeds will be better than the plant they came from because they'll be 2nd gen seeds. These 2nd gen seeds will be more acclimated to your grow room's conditions than the 1st gen, as a result they will grow better due to being more used to the environment.
Your plants look great for a first time grow btw, everything looks right on schedule and those plants wouldn't be nearly as frosty as they are currently if the entire crop was seeded. Just keep doing what you're doing and you're on your way to a good harvest, just be on the look out for seeds before you smoke the buds.
Sorry took ages to reply mate... Do you think she's ready to harvest??? Most the pistols are now orange I'm so glad I didn't harvest a week ago there so much fatter now... The catterpilas seem to have fucked off I think i won the war in the end but they left alot of death in there wake buds never recovered on the lower branches but anyways this is her now

Great looking plant, you're definitely worrying too much IMO. Way you described things I was expecting a massacre lol
What week of 12/12 you in now? Looks like ~week 7 if I had to venture a guess. I'd give it another week, then re-evaluate personally.
Grab a jewelers loupe if you don't have one already, only way to be 100% sure.
Looks very textbook to me, yield should be nice.
Looks like it needs another week, maybe two.
Thanks bro I took some pics today you can see how crazy the orange and brown hairs are now.. I did worry way to much your right haha I was always going to have some rubbish lower buds due to the catterpila war but they are all gone now... I've been flushing for the past week and a bit now run off water is reading at 0.0 on my magic wand so guessing there is 0 feed left in her now just water. I took pics this morning of some of the top heads on branches all orange hairs near enough but like you say I NEED a magnifyin glass maybe me neice has one from school or some shit haha ill have to ask my sister I need something and I'm not off to town to look for a magnifying glass lol

Looks primo dude, get that loupe ASAP so you can harvest at the right time. Those look like they're just about ready, beautiful plant. Should be good to chop after Monday, but the loupe will give a more definitive answer.
After a while, like with anything else, you'll get enough of a feel for it to be able to just eyeball things.
Looks like it'll be great smoke, 2nd and 3rd pics look great.

Holy shit, are you not in a legal state/medical patient?
Move ASAP, and don't attempt another grow again until you can move. Clean your electronics of evidence, remove everything from your house, set passwords on all electronics (cops can't break in legally that way).
Does your landlord know about the other house of yours? If yes, clean that house too and move shit elsewhere.
Otherwise, just as you said, leave things be and wait for them to come by. I'll get shit for saying this, but even let them in if your place is 100% clean. Offer them some beer and/or coffee, make up some basic story about how your landlord has been trying to find reasons to evict you for a while now, how you want to move out ASAP, etc.
I'd wager your landlord actually didn't call the cops though, if he did then you wouldn't be getting a letter because the only notice you'd have is the cops knocking on your door.
He picked the perfect time to pull this, would have been nice to give the plants another week but they'll be just fine as they are now.
Wishing you the best man.

Why not treat the plants with a pesticide? In flower your options are limited. Azamax, Grandevo CG, and Venerate CG would all work. If you go cheap you can do Azamax at max strength. It's effective but you'll have to spray every 3 days through to harvest for proper pest control. Grandevo CG and Venerate CG are more expensive, but highly effective when used separately in a 4-7 day rotation through to harvest. All 3 products I recommended are all organic and safe to use up to the day of harvest. Best of luck!
