What are these plant worms?

[flylowgethigh]

I found one the other day in my veg tent (which is currently flowering round 2), and spryed with "Purecrop1". This AM I see two more of these, each is on top of a flower standing up. The one I had the other day would stand up on my finger. They change color, so these match the flower color, while the one I found was bright green from the leaves. About 5/8 to 3/4 inch long.

I sprayed with the Purecrop1 again, and if I see another will nuke the tent with a foliar spray of "Greenclean".

What are they, where do they come from?

Its a Cabbage looper

Thanks. That moth is common here. This must be a result of the plants vegging out in the sun. i sprayed them pretty well when I brought them back in, so maybe I missed a spot, or the spray is not effective.

Moving plants from Outside to Inside.......

Remember what I said? Recipe for Disaster bugwise.

If you see Cabbage Loopers, you can assume your plants are host to other Pests. Do not wait until you see them.

Good Luck

Hi flylowgethigh
try Bacillus thuringiensis, That should sort the little fuckers out.

I second this. Chimed in to add to make sure it is Bt kurstaki, and not bt israelensis (which are the mosquito dunks).

I've had good results with the "Caterpillar Killer" from Safer brand, I'm sure there are other products.

Kill it. All caterpillars are bad.

I suspect these move under the cover of darkness. I found these two on the very tops of the HOG plant, reaching skyward. That is three now, in several days. Not exactly an infestation. I will be ready in the AM with the tweezers when the lights first come on. Since these are larvae, they are not making eggs, yet.

I'll look into getting some BT Kurski (like the Russian sub that took out the whole crew).

Looks like an inch worm to me!

Those are the stoopitist bugs ever. Crawl to the tippy top and stand straight up to be seen and plucked.

None this morning, and no signs of leafs being eaten.

They can burrow inside your buds and leave stuff that looks like silk.they are a pain in the ass

 

[flylowgethigh]

Makes the smoke smooth as...

 

[Hombre del mont]

If they crawl inside your buds they will drop their shit inside your buds and that can lead to bud rot. Hopefully you've got them all.

These plants have just started flowering. I'll keep an eye out for more of them. I am also ordering some DT that is labeled for them, just in case.

 

[Hombre del mont]

DT?, Do you mean BT, Bacillus thuringiensis. That stuff really works on all types of caterpillars. They only need to take one bite and the bacteria immediately stop them being able to digest and they die without eating any more. It's very cheap and a small bottle will last you quite sometime.
