I have three GG #4’s that are a week or two from harvest. When inspecting the trichomes last night I found a little caterpillar in one bud. This morning I found another.
What can I do to get rid of them?

Caterpillars will lay their eggs in the buds. The eggs hatch and the young feed on the buds. Usually they eat the center out of the buds and just leave the outer shell. Once you start to dry the buds they tend to just fall apart.

Ugh.....I have butterflies (gorgeous ones) all over right now. I fear this. I recently ordered some parasitic wasps and released them last week in hopes they can assist. I also bought some of this in case they decide my yard isn't their permanent home. Supposed to be safe, worth looking into. I'm too new to advise though, good luck !
