Hi guys, my crop has been attacked by some insects and i dont know what to do right now cuz maybe 2 more weeks i need to harvest them. please have a look on the photos and let me know what you guys thinking ?
some of the photos are taken at night with a flashlight but there was no other way around cuz is getting dangerous.
do you think i can harvest only the big buds and leave the small for a week more ?

Can you get more up close pics of the damage, I'm not seeing anything but good looking bud needing a couple more weeks :) Curious why is your water cloudy? hope youre not feeding if you plan on cropping soon get to flushing.

If you look at pic crop4, the lower bud on the right has a caterpillar on it. Hopefully these are not the type that are born in the center of the bud and eat their way out. Those ones shit all in the bud. Then the shit gets moldy and the bud rots.

There could be a market Cricket droppings if the name is right. (I'd try it once.):D

Toss some netting over them at night? sorry wish I had a better recommendation.

I am no expert but have been reading lots. BT is a bacteria pesticide that targets caterpillars and worms. But the whole eat from the inside and the poop causes mold and the bud rots probably means chop them asap. But don't take my word, wait for others to reply.

I watched a video where a guy washes his pot in a hydrogen peroxide and water mix to get rid of mold. I had to pull a small plant that was being overtaken by aphids. I soaked it in soapy water, then rinsed it the soaked it in plain water. It came out clean.

Wash your bud after you chop. Pick caterpillars off. They’re only around a few weeks.

Spray clear epoxy over the egg clusters.
