At six weeks into the flowering stage, the Los Angeles Kush Cake—a photoperiodic strain—is proving a challenge to manage due to its extensive size. Recent battles with caterpillars and spider mites were clinical, with daily check-ups successfully eliminating the caterpillars. Unfortunately, some compromises to the inflorescences were unavoidable, requiring the removal of about 3 grams of dry product; these are shown in the attached photos. Thanks to meticulous monitoring, I had eliminated two leaves with moth eggs early on, but one was missed, leading to the recent caterpillars. Detecting caterpillars early by watching for black poop on flowers, chewed leaves, or early maturation saves the surrounding buds and secures the harvest.
