fdd says the poop can get moldy if it gets wet. So stay away from heavy spraying and Autumn rain. Other than that, I would just pick them off. They didn't eat as much as I thought they would on an early harvest of two plants. The poo was the biggest problemo man.
yeah well where im at, we havent had a drop of rain lmao and my girls have been dryyyy...so at least the tiny bits of poop left arent getting wet...thanks dubs.

Well I just bought a can of comressed air so I can so I can shoot these lil bastards. So far the damage has been small cause I have been able to ..like a monkey pick out the bugs. I have a late bloomer that I have een combing over . Its a lot easer to rifle thru the buds while they are loose then after when they tighten up and you have to bust them open to look .

The budworms have got to my plants as well without damaging to many of the buds. But the BT should be working, Maybe try increasing the dose or something I think its rare to harm the plants, but it smells like straight SHIT. Mine did at least.

Personally, I've backed off the BT. I've lost tremendous amounts of scent due to overspraying.

I have a 4ft x 4ft bush that's got a few dozen tops. I've lost about 6 tops from the cats. Instead of leaving it there, poo and all, I cut the top off and to my surprise many are growing back. Some I accidentally fimmed and have three or four new tops growing. I think in month or so when I pluck this girl I'll be ok.

They really don't eat that much from what I've seen. It's the poo that ruins the bud. So I just cut it all out. Especially if it's a late bloomer like this one plant I'm talking about.

try a product called "Organicide" covers all ur bug and disease needs and its under $50, i use it twice in a season, once in mid-late veg and again as soon as budding starts but dont spray on late flowering cuz it kinda smells like fish emulsion. its stoped my catapiller problem, now the only time i see em is as babys and their all witherd and dead. the only damage done is on parts of the plant that i must have missed in spraying. + its OMRI listed so you know its goog shit. any way good luck.
-live long and harvest !!!!
