Back to beaubuds. Is this the first year youβve tried this method? If not then donβt read any further. But my brother grew a bunch of plants in his backyard in Riverside California down there they started budding around 1 August. Around the end of August he was picking caterpillars off of his plants and going what the fuck! I asked him if he blacked out his backyard at night. Of course he said no. So I said, what the hell did you expect when youβre drawing moths in With those lights, they do whatever Moths do, and lay their eggs on your plants. Caterpillars were falling out of his buds hanging in the drying room.
