I have an outside garden and I spotted a worm! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to prevent or treat worms?:sweating

you mean like a worm in the soil?

worms are very beneficial and also a good indication your soil is healthy

why would you want to get rid of them?

also I had to move this thread because you posted in the wrong section - please make sure you post in an appropriate forum

As ML said, if you have worms in your soil, this is an exceptionally good thing. Do not try to get rid of them. Their poop is marijuana gold my friend. They keep the soil food web alive and bouncing.

no they are in my buds.little green worms that seem to eat right through the center of the bud and leaves in its wake a dried crumbly bud that seems to be dead

wow man that was a long time between posts - wish you mentioned it was on the buds

thats a caterpillar - you need to get some BT garden spray (Bacillus thuringiensis)

they can devastate your crop unchecked

safer makes a concentrate you can find at almost any hardware store or garden center

organic and non toxic can be used no problems a few weeks before harvest

im sorry i would not spray anything on my buds than smoke em LOL. do it before the plants start growing bud, at this point go out in the morning check the plant top to bottom, go before sundown and do the same, if u cant make that effort dont expect a harvest.
