Found some brownish spots on a bud, discovered a caterpillar and feces, and finally this sticky white goo. I put of gloves and picked off the bug and white stuff. The little poops shook off. The white stuff kinda rolled together in a ball, it was like elastic. What do I do?

There are a wide variety of IPM sprays you can use the day of harvest—- Athena, dr Zymes, etx—- use those and you can always do a bud wash after harvest! That will help with the poop. 2 buckets—- water and peroxide, and water only—- direct fan for 2 hours and let dry like normal! Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿💨

Hi there, since your plant is so late into flower I would avoid using any type of pesticide. What you did by removing all the foreign material from your plant is a really good first step. Now you just have to go out there every day and pick off as many caterpillars and remove all the dead and dying parts of the plant as you possibly can since your plant is looking about ready to harvest in about a week or so. By the looks of the pictures it seems your dealing with some bud rot. Here is a link to some info about bud rot. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/bud-rot
