I don't see how, their frass is about the same size as many trichome heads. And then there's the mold associated in those areas.Catapillars are the worst to fight. It's nice to spray when it's in vege, but do you really wanna spray your buds with anything when there mature? I heard if you make bubble hash with the damaged buds and it will wash out the catapillar crap. Is this correct?
Look man, it's your first grow, I get it, we've all been there. But if you leave that rotten stuff there, it's going to simply cause the rest of it to rot. So you either cut it away yourself and start applying iso or something to stop that rot, or you watch your buds rot before your eyes. It must be done.I just cant do it anymore. It breaks my heart. Burnt on capa-tillers. Culling two small OD plants and basically chopping off half my big plant. Feeling my shoulders and spirit sink a little just typing it out....haha. Pleh. Bummed
But that's the thing. If you get on top of it, it's not an issue. If you just start spraying, alternating treatments, with Bt and Spinosad, you'll have a real handle on the problem.Yeah.............. I wont be planting outdoors after this harvest. Its time consuming as it is-the pest issue just brings it to a whole 'nother level. I love EVERYTHING about growing-except this pest issue and seeing so much go to waste just destroys me a bit...........
caterpillars are the babies... kill the mothers (moths) they hide in lawn grass in the daytime. spread tick killer on your lawn and it kills the moths. try it next year.
I'm going to make two suggestions for you. First, get a quadrunner. Second, get a good tank sprayer. I've got a 26gal sprayer that's actually overkill for our area, but it mounts right on the back of the quadrunner and I just added more hose so I could reach further with it.My lawn is 5 acres wide. YOU spread tick killer on my lawn haha. Too much work man. My watermelons got PM i had to chop those down yesterday too.... Outdoor is not my cup of tea i guess.. @Seamaiden you were right. Indidnt cut off all the rot and now my entire plant is fucked. What. A. Bummer.
Im taking it in as a lesson. Its all good. Outdoor is a science all on its own. I think ill tackle one beast at a time. Your right, this is my first grow.... So... Perhaps my next one will go better. I wont give up by a damn sight. But i am pretty heart broken that i cant smoke my ladies beautiful buds : (

Every day is a lesson.
Rent a plane, aerial foliar. lol.
I havr truthfully been considering this, only i was gonna double up on 25%shade cloth on the walls, and clear visqueen plastic for the roof. Ive been thinking about it a lot actually. Not just for cannabis but for tomatoes corn potatoes and lettuce rows. Too many insects where i live. Found the country out in southern cali lol.here is my 2 pennies...for your next outdoor grow....get some 4x4's and build and 8'x8' base....now grab some 2x4's and build 4 walls...now go to the local fabric store and buy enough mosquito netting for all 4 walls and roof....staple netting tight to the inside of the walls using small pieces of cardboard squares between staple fabric and wood...then get some 1x1 trim and trim the inside where the fabric is...on one wall frame for a door and velcrow screen up as the door...the top run trim to secure it...now you have a roll up screen door...put your plant in the center and grow....all that will run you 100 bucks give or take a few bucks but you can have a protected badass outdoor plant for your enjoiment....the rest keep indoors
Aw.. :( She was lookin' so good, too!
What a shame:(I havr truthfully been considering this, only i was gonna double up on 25%shade cloth on the walls, and clear visqueen plastic for the roof. Ive been thinking about it a lot actually.

@Seamaiden i shouldve cut it all, you were right... One more night out and bam, whole plant toasted. It was on day 60ish and was just starting to fill out... Regretting to report that i cut and pulled her. Maybe a gram at the most was salvagable..
