green worms

[greenhit]

WTF checking my plants, in the flower room
and noticed a green worm stoned as all heck
basking on the top bud. Took the plant outside
so I could inspect more closely, and found 2 more.
I checked the others best I could and see no others.
Did they cause any harm, would of they ????????????
what caused them ???????????
any info ?????????
They are about 1/2 inch long and neon green.
Hard to spot.

the were on my most resinous buds.
peace,

Budworms? If so you need to get rid of them, ASAP.

Gourmet Bugs hanging around.

Budworms burrow into ripe floral clusters; they also spin webs around floral clusters, although this is infrequent. They eat floral clusters from the inside out, and their activities provide a vector for a pervasive cannabis fungal disease known as botrytis or gray mold.

You can deal with them and your other types of caterpillars with Dipel, it's Bacillus thuringiensis in a liquid form you mix with water and spray on to the plants...

Dipel Dust contains "B.T." (Bacillus Thuringiensis), a biological insecticide control for Tomato Hornworm, Looper, Webworm, Armyworm, Cutworm, Leaf Roller, and other caterpillars on vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, flowers, and lawns.
Dipel dust works as a stomach poison. After biting a treated portion of the leaf, caterpillars stop feeding within a few hours. The targeted pests ingest the bacteria, which then infects and kills them in a few days.

Apply when caterpillars first appear or the sight of their damage.
Complete coverage at 7 to 10 days intervals due to insect egg hatch.
May be applied up to time of harvest.
"BT" is considered an Organic product.


One non-organic/chemical pesticide method is to get a "no pest strip" (Vapona) in the growroom with the infested plants.
Some will actually go so far as to cover the plant with a plastic bag and put the pest strip in their with it for the day (&/or night) to kill the various creepy crawlies. Use @ your own risk but it works.
