Holy shit. I would start spraying with BT or spinosad. Those look like moth eggs. If your plants are too large to get full coverage with a liquid solution or relative humidity is high in your region then maybe purchasing trichogramma eggs would be your best bet. What I personally like to do is to spray the plants with Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew every 3-4 days during the first month or so of flowering making sure to saturate the flowers with the solution(I live in a low rh region). I discontinue that and switch to BT and rely mostly on the predator bug homies(trichogramma, green lacewings, ladybugs) to do all the heavy lifting. The day before I spray any pesticide I usually rinse the plants with plain water to take off residue from the prior treatment. Again, this is just what has worked for me in my region. Trichogramma should be released every three weeks or every other week. Best of luck.
Those will hatch to become caterpillars. Just look for the patches and cut them off or get a BTK spray which is a bacteria that kills the babies soon after they hatch and not harmful to you or anything else.
Personally I would opt for removing the patches.

get yourself some spinosad and some diphel pro
Being that you’re in Maine I would go ahead and start hanging trichogramma egg cards. I would avoid spraying with such high rh. You can order trichogramma on Amazon .thank you all for your replies!
The RH has been unusually high here in Maine with the constant deluge of rain. I avtually just checked and have some View attachment 5319289 to apply. I'll also just inspect and remove the leaf site.
Must of bought it last year and forgot. They don't call it dope for just any reason.
Is a gestational period of 4 days accurate?
I'm not sure about that but I put a leaf with those types of eggs on it in a jar then a few days later there was tiny caterpillars all over the insides of the jar.
Mine looked like this.

It's good that you found them before they hatched and wreaked havoc
Are your plants flowering yet? If they are, would try to mechanically remove the eggs instead of spraying. The spray will affect the taste of your buds, especially if they’re coated with resin/trichomes. Once the spray dries it’s going to stick to them, just like your fingers stick together after you touch some resinous nugs.
I really want to try trichogramma eggs but cannot find the cards locally.
Yea those look like the same eggs. You got em too. yuck.
I found more today. its always on a low laying leaf tip. Myt lowest leaf is like 2 to 3 feet off the ground. Clipped em and set in sealed mason jar to hatch. I'm gonna spray a leaf with BT stick it in there. and see how long it takes to kill them all, make sure this brand is effective.
Question can Bt AND Copper Fungicide be applied at the same time or better to apply separately?
Trichogramma Parasitic Wasps for Control Caterpillar Eggs
ARBICO Organics offers four species of Trichogramma wasps targeting moth eggs, for control of lepidopteran pests. Trichogramma can be used in agricultural environments and home gardens for control of caterpillars while in the larval stage.www.arbico-organics.com
That's what nightmares are made out of. I would probably trim that leaf and make sure the rest of your plant doesn't have that problem.I've found single patches of these three times in the last week on lower limbs, always on the leaf tip like this. Been cutting the weird part off.
Anybody know what they are?
