Im suffering from moth caterpillars too T_T. I go through my plants every morning and squash every caterpillar I can find, but they've taken out a lot of nice looking buds. How is your BT regiment working? I've never used or heard of it before your post. Is it safe to smoke plants that get sprayed with BT?

@CriticalBush420, friendly hills lol. Get one of those handheld sprayers with a pump.

@Todzilla, Ya this is my first time growing outdoors, so I wasn't too familiar with outdoor pest and how to stop them. I've just been killing them by hand, but its so time consuming and those fuckers are hard to spot. Only when I see a brown patch on my buds is when I know there's a tiny fucker eating and shitting inside. I'm going to get some BT asap. I thought I could stop them by hand but they've fucked up a good chunk of some nice tops. Time for the nuclear option. Yeah, before my plants started budding, I was contemplating if I should wash or not. But after seeing all that caterpillar shit, I'm definitely going to give em a nice bath. I'm out here in Whitter/City of Industry.

@CriticalBush420, I spray for caterpillars using BT every morning. I soak the buds good. Buy it at Home Depot in 8oz concentrate for $10. My first time I lost 40% due to cats, that was about 8lbs… Once I started spraying I got losses down to 10-25%. In some grows, like in one city away, I see zero cats. In another I saw a 100% losses to cats. The cats love those top colas. BT is approved for use on cannabis in CA. I’m guessing almost all commercial outdoor grows in ca must use this stuff. Just understand that the cats will die only after eating the BT, this means you’re only limiting the cats from taking out the entire cola; you will likely still have losses, just a bud - and hopefully not the entire cola. I wash my buds at harvest for contaminants. You should see what comes off … yuk. I suggest all outdoor buds be washed. BTW what city/area? Cheers TC

@Todzilla, thanks, eh? I’m at Edmonton so way further north and that definitely limits things. Great spot here if you can get them to finish in time.

@Northern_Ent,thanks man, especially coming from a seasoned grower like yourself. I saw some of your other grows and they’re ALL quite impressive. I’m sure I can learn a lot from you! I’m in the SoCal Long Beach 🏝️

Looking good. You might apply BT in the evening rather than in the morning because it’s photodegradable. Using before dark gives it time to work. BT is a soil bacteria so it makes sense that it doesn’t appreciate direct sunlight. Cheers.
