Ladiebirds? Like in Ladiebird Johnson? What's a ladiebird?

Start early with the BT. Follow the directions on the bottle. Don't mix too strong and only spray as often as the directions say. Don't spray for the last two weeks before harvest unless you see worms on your buds. If the weather is warm and dry rinse your plants a couple of times a few days before harvest. Some growers don't like to do this because they are worried about mildew but if you spray in the morning on a warm dry day it shouldn't do any harm and it will remove some of the BT residue. How could it be any different than spraying BT mixed with water as far as the mildew is concerned.

think about it. the bud worms eat the bud. the bud contains thc. it only seems logical that smoking a couple bud worms would give you a head change. makes sense to me

Would a net used to keep butterflies off strawberries work if it was draped over the plant? the holes in the netting are about 1cmx1cm.

Budworms suck! I've had them the past three seasons. We put some nematodes in our soil this past fall. I hope it works.
We normally just pick them off daily.
I don't like using any sprays, etc. When we hang the buds to dry, the worms leave. IMO, they do very little damage and I'd rather smoke a little worm poo then insecticide.

Thinking of buying BT spray my plants will start flowering in a months time; anyone else in the northeast usa that knows if budworms are a problem? I have never seen them before but this is my first outdoor.
