Possible caterpillar problem at the end of flowering, help please!

[Jmoney805]

Hey guys,

So my plant this week has suddenly not looked healthy. I noticed spots or droppings on the leaves and buds. The leaves are suddenly turning yellow which I know can happen when the plant is almost finished flowering and ready to harvest. Here are some pictures. If you have any recommendations on how I can save the plant and let me know your options and opinions. Thanks!

You’ve got bud rot in the first two pics. I do see what look looks like caterpillar poop in the first pic. The 4th pic is a nutrient or ph issue. As far along as you are there’s not a lot you can spray in flower, but maybe someone has an idea. Not sure if you can spray BXT in flower. Cut the bud rot out before it overtakes the cola.

I just got bt spray and sprayed the whole plant. I read it's safe when the plant is flowering. Hoping that kills the caterpillars. Is the bud rott from the caterpillars? How do I know what nutrients to use? I have been using tiger bloom once a week. The plant has about two weeks left until harvest.

The caterpillars are eating the inside of the buds killing parts of it, that sets up a perfect environment for bud rot.

Thanks for your reply. So I did tear some of the obvious buds off and used bt spray yesterday. Any recommendations on how to fix?
Thanks!

Mist that girl with H2O2, then chop and dunk in some more H2O2

You should also flush the soil to clear out any built-up salts if you’ve been feeding heavily
