You're quite welcome. Yes, IF your harvest is truly a month out, then one treatment of each should be applied. After that, you're going to have to watch the buds very closely during drying and curing for rot. When trimmed you'll find where the caterpillars get in and live, because it's fully of their frass (aka bug poop).
If you haven't read the how to harvest thread, go through it. You'll be checking every week for new pistils, bud building, etc. When the plant stops throwing out a whole bunch of new white pistils, you're a week or two out. That's the gauge I would use here.
Oh, when you find the bug poop sections I suggest spritzing with isopropyl, mostly because bug poop seems to cause me really bad allergies and whatever it is that irritates my insides seems to be neutralized when I use some iso. Plus it'll kill mold spores, etc. Then it just evaporates. Use 70% if not diluting.
I spray the brown areas and the areas surrounding, because I don't know how far the infected area may truly go, if that makes sense. If the bud remaining looks clean, no mold, then leave it be. What you don't want is to then harvest those moldy bits and end up with them living in a jar with good bud, because those moldy bits are guaranteed to make the good bits go bad.
Since you're new, you should probably go with the classic glass jar curing and storage method. Keep paper grocery bags on hand in case you have issues getting the moisture levels even in the bud, the paper bags really help with that. They would be used *after* drying, for the curing portion. But, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
I had a patch of 50 plants once that they wiped out, too many plants to be able to pick them all off, and there were a real lot of them.
I had another patch of 50 plants about 10 km away that got no caterpillars.
Because they were happy at the first buffet?
Christ, a fire?!
