Mohican's 2014 Season

You should have seen my first outdoor medical grow. Mr Goo. I would pick the worms off every day and I thought I was winning. When I harvested I found over 200 (I counted) and the colas I hung would have new silk strands hanging from them every day. That is when I researched and found BT. It works. I had only two worms on my plants the next season and that was because I got lazy and skipped an application. This is my first time grow in the early season and I thought I was safe. Ooops!

BT is a bacteria that creates a special byproduct that makes caterpillars stop eating. Smells weird (I am starting to like it) but works great. Just make sure you double the suggested dose and spray it everywhere. Those damn inchworms drop from the trees!

Brand name is Safer Caterpillar Killer. I start spraying when I get flowers. Still not sure when to stop. I drenched my current finished flowers so I will let you know if it kills me!

It is the small green jugs at the bottom of this pic:

Sorry, been busy today plumbing the waste pipe for the pool. I need to flush all of the crap out of the filter so I can get the pool back in shape. I will check it now.

Pool is always a battle. Chems, brushing, filters, pumps, heaters, debris, animals, bugs...

It needs to be replastered and replumbed. Maybe this year I won't need to spend money on some emergency and I can finally get the pool squared away.

@greenghost420 - It is a normal part of outdoor farming here. I just didn't know they would be prevalent in the spring (not that we ever had a winter this year). Caught me unprepared. The Scott's OG brach I chopped was full of them so I sprayed the flowers twice now to just make sure I don't get inundated with worms in my drying room. Chopped some JOG last night and only found a couple live ones. Wait till you see the pictures of the buds! I cut every leaf off!

Cheers,
Mo

It is! It really works as advertised and I am going to see what smoking this bud is like. I rinsed the plants yesterday just to see if I could reduce the amount left on the plant material. I didn't seem to lose much resin from the multiple sprayings. The JOG is super sticky and smells very mild now. Soft fruity hash with a fuel undertone.

it should wash off depending whatelse is in that caterpillar killer. if using tarantula or great white its just water and microbes so water should just wash it off. but you know for sure after a session lol

I don't know about the life of BT (I use to use it) but Green Lite with Spinosad is a newer BT (bacteria) and when sprayed on tomatoes is eatable the next day. I have sprayed it on my outdoor grows for years and have had no taste or other effects. You know Mo, after my first year with bud worms I researched pheromones for catching the moths that lay the eggs to cut down on the caterpillars. The traps are easy to make and all you have to buy is the pheromone tab. Here is the article. Kill caterpillars!! (http://www.gypsymothalert.com/traps_homemade.html)
