Thanks guys.
You have no idea what a wild ride this has been. I had to move inside when I moved to the Mojave because apparently even though weed is legal to grow for patients in California... growing outside, even in the middle of the desert, is frowned up on this establishment.
I figured moving inside would end my headaches with wildlife, unpredictable weather, etc... but 3 weeks into flower and tell me how the hell I get caterpillars INSIDE? I have my central a/c duct venting straight into my tent and the only thing I can figure is a moth got in through the vent before I was smart enough to screen it off.
Fighting caterpillars is 2 weeks of hell and anxiety! Thankfully I caught them the first day they hit, and thanks to early detection and a good round of BT, the problem never got very far... thank god. Didn't lose a single bud (that I have seen) to them, and they really only messed up a few bottom fan leaves. I think I got lucky and literally caught them the day they hatched because I found about 20 of them hiding under a single leaf blade that was overlapping itself.
I nearly shit myself when I saw that!
I found one or two every couple of days for about a week or two after that, but I think they were just late hatchers, and they didn't get very far before they were dealt with in the most inhumane ways possible.
Suffice to say I didn't think I would make it all the way to flower on numerous occasions, lol.
