Bugs: Leaves sticking together like they were slimed

[dogg91702]

Good day guys, question, what kind of bug is doing this? The leaves look like they were slimed and are sticking together. I have found a little brown caterpillar type bug when opening the leaves. I have been spraying need oil recently on the plant, this is the only one this is happening to of my 3 plants. Thanks in advance

Those leaves are the weirdest thing, it has happened on 4-5 branch leaves.

ok,.. well i’m not quite sure,. i don’t think it’s pests though,. it kinda looks like caterpillar damage on the leaves but i don’t think it is,. i kinda doubt it’s the heat,.
maybe you got pests down there i’m not aware of,. i’m in canada,.
others will be here to give their thoughts soon,.

i don’t usually get stomped to often, maybe if i was there it would be easier to figure out,.
i can see the other plant as well and it looks like you know what your doing too,..
all in all the plant looks good, no deficiency or toxicity, doesn’t look like any pest or fungal issues,..
just those couple of tops and leaves?,..
so doubt it’s a root issue,.
oh well let’s see what others think,..

That sure looks like a caterpillar at work. It's that time of year around here.

Yeah I find little caterpillars in the bunched leaves, I am hitting them with neem oil, I will have to keep doing it. My plant isnt flowering yet.

that is a leaf roller moth caterpiller , or tortrix moth larvae, they will eat some leaf then roll themselves up and pull leaves together with silk. i found 2-3 this year but i only found 1 on each plant so i just picked them off rather than spraying .

If you have worms now, you’ll be fucked (in a month) when you’re in flower. Use a Bt (worm) product.

Firme, I hit them with neem oil and there was not at many but def I will check out the BT

Tons of threads on “bud worms.”They’re common in your area and a major pest outdoors. Neem won’t cut it. You need to be really proactive with worms and try to break the caterpillar/month cycle before you’re in flower. It’s almost impossible to kill the worms once they’re in the bud (shitting up a storm).
