This fucker was hanging out inside one of my buds.
I tried getting a pic but was to blurry. Where either a guard leaf is attach to the stem or on top inside of the bud. I thought it was mildew but when I see it move I had no clue.

Are there several of these? If hes solo , then hes probably in the wrong place at the wrong time. Are you in or outdoors growing?

It had a little nest going on all white powdery but I was able to take it out with some tobacco spray.
I sprayed neem at least once every four days.

Then its the ebola bug...naww jk.
I did a quick google search...its most likely a beetle larvae
You could spray neem everday if you wanted to, it wont hurt. I dont recommend spraying trics with neem tho.
I think you did the right thing tho. Good eye.

That's what I told my wife and she got pissed lol.
So I should keep applying neem as usual? I can go the whole cycle right? It did rain a couple days but I Am expecting a cold front in a couple days it ill get down to the mid 50s

Yes . you can apply neem as usual. I DO NOT recommend spraying neem on tricromes once they have formed.
They should be fine in the cool weather. When it drops down to 45 then its time to cover them

Watch out for bud rot a.k.a. botrytis during wet weather. Neem has been known to work as a fungicide also. I use Green Cure, saved me this year. Last year I lost 5lbs to botrytis, hit my crop in 12 hours

Shitt I wouldn't wanna find out if they do damage or not. That nest that was being made me go into quarantine mode. I opened every bud looking for all of them.

How funny this strain comes from Mexico. And it only on one plant but the others are fine but have bud worms every now and themI have never had them on a indoor grow, but i used to be a nurseryman. I have seen them on Mexican petunias, roses, and all sorts of other plants. Neem and pepper spray for the eggs and manual pest removal works great for them
