help! little caterpillars hanging from my drying bud!

seen them before and they wont hurt you to smoke them. my father in law had a whole crop full of them .we smoked it anyway.most of them left when the bud started drying.

Let me tell you, I had them in my crop with minimal damage. They managed to sever a few ends of a few colas but the severed ends were recovered and dried so all in all no real loss here. Now with that said, you can pick up pest sprays from your local hydro shop or even your common local super store that will work great (spray before your flowering stage). In my humble opinion the damage to my crops was such a minor, minor inconvience and found that just picking them off as I find them was satisfactory. Knowing that the product I medicate with was not treated with any kind of pesticide gives me a pleasant satisfaction. If your product that you grow kills small insects when they crawl on it, you got to ask your self would you want to ingest it? Hope this helps my friends.

Ahhhh just leave buds hanging, they will die as bud dries and fall to the floor......most outdoor is gonna have some kind of bugs of some sort. Most will fall to the floor and whatever is left u can pick out fairly easy when buds are dry and tap the stem when trimming and the poops fall out too...

they were in your bud when it was growing and they are leaving now because the plant is drying.check for little black pebbles which is poop.they eat the insides.

i picked off a rotting bud and let it dry, after a few days im taking a look at it and it feels all brittle and i find a worm ahaha..i think i need to bump up my frog population or somethin

oh ya i also have capt jacks deadbug....but havet sprayed in a while...yikes

Well, the can always try thuricide... muhahahahaha! If the name and the evil laugh didn't scare you then, actually they probably shouldn't. It is an all natural type of fungus that only kills caterpillars. It is completely safe for humans and animals, and I believe it breaks down fairly quickly. It can be used up until harvest and has been used on vegetables for over 100 years. The caterpillars eat it and it burns their stomachs from the inside. Follow the directions and spray it on the leaves.

uh man. wash your pot before you dry it. it's like any vegetable. you wouldn't go eating your lettuce without washing it first. nor a pepper or an apple. smoke as clean as you can if you must be smoking. id bake with that cuz it may irritate your lungs.
