Hey everyone. I am a newbie so I do not know if I am doing something improperly. I have a heavy infestation by spider mites, caterpillars/worms. I have used Big Time Exterminator and Monterey BT to spray, but I still see a lot caterpillars on plants. They are in flowering stage now. Do I need to keep spraying daily? I am spraying 2 times per week with Big Time Exterminator and 1 time per week with Monterey BT. I need your advice. Thank you

What are the temperatures during day/night?
Did you check if it's healthy to smoke weed sprayed with these products?

The temperature is 97/65. I checked the products they are organic and can use to harvest, but I am not sure in weed since this is my first time.

Unfortunately, I still see spider mites and caterpillars. Not sure what I do next.

Thank you

I wouldn’t like to spray pesticides during flower personally… what week of flower are you in? I will spray pests up to 2 weeks in flower.. but if your later in flower a cheap method is to you spray them with carbon dioxide it will suffocate the mite and is non poisonous.. type in search engine killing spider mites with C02 grow guru theirs an helpful post on their 👍🏻

I am using a hotbox sulfume, in Week 5, it is safe to use until the last 2 weeks of flowering. It has worked, and will stop budrot.

A pump sprayer from the dollar store will make it easier and more efficient to fully apply insecticide to your plants.

Monterey BT is most effective when the plants is in a vegetative state and start early, like back in the May / June timeframe. The moths eggs have since hatched into caterpillars and are now inside the buds. BT won’t touch them now. You really need to start watching for rot. Their poop is the catalyst.

Thank you so much for the information. Have you known Big Time Exterminator? I still see spider mites. Do I need to keep spraying? My plants are in week 3/4 now.
