Borrowing Caterpillars in Flowers
FlowerKINGstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey all, does anyone have product advice for borrowing caterpillars? I have had the tops of three buds destroyed by caterpillars boring into them, and draining them dry. By the time i find them it's too late. Any advice on preventative products this far in flower

Buy a product called Caterpillar Killer by "safer brand" its a bacillus product. And just keep checking the plants and kill where you can. It never seems like you can be 100% rid of them.☹️

Hello. Please try: 1 liter of water, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper, a couple drops of dish soap in a spray bottle. Spray enough to find, or chase out of the bud. If you use too much you'll get hot lungs when you smoke it. Good Luck. Chuck.

You could try a little dawn dish soap mixed in water. It wont hurt your girls but maybe the stoner caterpillars wont like the taste. Sorry friend Cheers

Growth is twisted. Is it because of Fungus gnats ?I have fungus gnats (black flies) for less than a week. Temp 29°c, water Ph was at 7 (now 6.5). I didn't think there were so many flies but look at those twisted leaves on 2 plants ! I've put some Diatomaceous Earth yesterday.

What are they? Pinhead size, many, soiltopWhole bunch of these guys living on my soil (BuildaSoil 3.0, second run - re-amended).
They aren't messing with the stalk or plants, can't see the roots obviously though.
I hope and assume some kind of predator mite but there are a metric buttload of these little bastards.
