Those catapillers are bad news. I like how you kept the colo buds from peeking out at the top smart move. Unique style
Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

I have noticed that people are using Spinosad, which is a bacteria.

But have BT as a backup spray

Had this problem but didn't go the bt route, instead i got benificials that i should have introduced during late vegg.
Green lacewings larve
eat young caterpillars up to about a half inch in size and also hunt for moth and butterfly eggs they are non flight insects for 2-3 weeks so that's all their doing in the meantime is hunting.
And i also got
Parasitic Wasps,
predatory in all stages of life, its larvae eats worms from the inside out, when the larve gets wings they inspect every cola and inch of the plant being a very small wasp, any way these wasps Use their butts as a shank almost when they see prey and inject their eggs into the body of any worm, off guard leaf hopper etc.
I applied these 3 days ago to clean my plants up before harvest, idk about the worms yet but what i assumed to be white fly are far less active and im seeing far less leaf hoppers gonna let theses good bugs and my plants finish maturing then do part 1 of my harvest.

Was thinking about doing a run outdoors next year but F that! It's just too much to deal with. Only bug problem I ever had was fungus nats and a little peroxide and some sticky traps took care of that in no time.

Thanks. Nothing like that here, I was thinking of some kind of tiny caterpillar not a big ass one that easy to see. Sorry first timer here.

Don't let the moths deter u can put up an easy net around your plants, that's what I'm doing next year..
They start off pretty small and eat the bud from inside out after they hacth so it's good to spray early on the buds and keep reapplying you will see burnt looking buds that will crumble as a sign of them
So, this is pretty much exactly what's happening to me right now re: burnt looking buds that will crumble. I've lost about 5 tops already off of a couple of plants- is it too late to apply this BT? Do I spray the actual buds? They're kinda crystally, and i feel like getting them wet is bad. I've been in flower for 4 weeks. Sorry, I'm new to this.
Thanks..

I would spray BT or spinosad like monterey garden insect spray immediately all over the plant and reapply in like 5 days or sooner. If u find worms sfter they shouldent be moving much. And it's ok for your buds to get wet, mold shouldent be an issue and your trichs will be fine.
Thanks again sir. I'm going to go with BT then and do that tomorrow.
