    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    This is the results of BT sprayed on that clutch of eggs a day later. They all look hatched. So I would say the spores have no effect on the eggs. The membrane the egg is in must not be permeable. All in all fellas this is why you wash your outdoor before you hang it. Just like you would wash...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Continuing the know your enemy photo series. I snipped this leaf tip this morning and laid it out on concrete. When I can back to check it later in the afternoon the eggs were hatching. I think they sense dying plant matter and hit the eject button. I could not see the baby larvae without zoom...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I went out this morning and picked another dozen single eggs off the tops of my colas. Literally dropping them at the tippy top. One observation is that they usually stay away from the middle of the plant. Using a wooden tooth pick, they seem stick well to wood. This is the last hoorah for this...

    Not the end of the world. At least you caught it. You still applying BT every few days?

    First Legal Illinois outdoor grow, so do I put up this greenhouse or no?

    When did you stick those in the ground? You want to build a greenhouse around them?

    I need some assistance PLEASE!

    Those leaves look otherwise very healthy. Unless it gets out of control I wouldn't even worry.

    To be honest I've never quite seen one that looks like that but there are many variations of moth & caterpillar. Do you have any damage as a result?

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I wanted to share a photo I just took. Day off today. Went out and did a careful inspection. I was picking single moth eggs off my maturing flower. I used a big stitching needle to remove them. They stick so they are easy to remove. Point is, there are several photos in this thread showing...

    Wow very interesting using the baking soda to neutralize the acidity. I got a late jump myself and I have a short window in the NE. I recall a year or two taking the last of it down first few days of November so I guess it can't be that bad. Weather has been awesome after we got hit with that...

    Sounds like you got it figured out. Thanks for the tip on the lemon juice. It's obviously very acidic how much do you dilute that? I've been washing mine in 5 gallon home depot buckets with a cup of peroxide. I hear you on that cut. Wet flower for days is not good and when your close to the...

    It's just the most disgusting pest. You bust our your BT sprayer this year?

    I was thinking about that today. Bees around my flowers. There are likely many feeding frenzies protecting outdoor. It creates an small ecosystem. Not sure on the bees but they are active.

    They can't travel far. They hatch on their food. If left alone they would strip mine the entire plant of foliage until they become full size caterpillar. That's the rational behind pre spraying and consistent spraying. For the ones that we miss, make the first bite of food the last, while they...

    Bravo to the guys using nets out here this year. Would love to hear back about and success or failure with nets. I wanted to mention that last summer I watched a few moths leg clutches of eggs on my mesh screen tent, where I put my plants when it rains. I destroyed them but I could imagine if...

    You really need to go through on the first wet cut before you hang and make sure all contaminated areas are removed. I go deep boys. Use my sheers to check for the black grit, that's poop. Stem to node. You have to open the bud a little with the sheer tip. Once you hang and they start to dry...
