follow the poop trail, youll find em in your bud, then squish em
so as i read this im picking off dead tops on a few of my plants. i sprayed safer soap all throughout veg and about a week into flower. im pretty far along into flower so i dont think i can spray again. but what is this ken about the 3 to 4 days? can i still hit them with safer soap or is it too late. im going to lay out some corn meal and see if that will stop them, but they are in the buds just like sea said, poopin and eatin. good thing it was only 2 plants but it still kills me to see that.
I've been seen stalking cabbage butterflies during egg laying season
with a squirt bottle filled with neem oil set on fullauto, er, stream--
I figure a little collateral damage is no ecological disaster...
If you wait until you see caterpillars, you've waited too long. They don't start as caterpillars, they start as moths (IIRC), which then lay eggs (usually as your buds are just beginning to form and stack), which then hatch deep inside a nice, thick, protective bud of cannabis. If you spray starting at bud-set (I use a combination approach, Spinosad, Bt, aka Safer Caterpillar Spray, and compost tea) then you will be much less likely to lose buds to rot caused by caterpillars eating and shitting in a cocoon of canna-goodness.
Ken, where did you learn about these products only being effective for a couple of days? I bet it's right there on the label.
I thought Organocide was for fungus/disease, not bugs. I wish we had a Home de Pot nearby. The Lowe's *is* better than nothing, but it's not even a complete Lowe's, for example, mine does not carry a single Espoma product.
Dude no. It's not too late, unless you live where it's really humid.. Yeah, I dont know whats in your safer soap. But
The BT and Spinosad have a really short half life and you can spray a couple weeks before harvest no problem.
Its hot and dry here right now so I am Drenching even my fattest buds
just sprayed this one (and the rest) yesterday
I have always liked the way my buds smell and taste :D
I did not know you could feed BT and spinosad to plants :confused:
They works as a systemic?
Hmm...i didnt know that
