I've seriously thought about shooting the street light by my place but the city would be all over me where I'm at.

Bt spray for caterpillars. The one that I've always used is called Thuricide.

same problem here ! just after 2 days they fixed it . and now new cfl s are much brighter . cant shoot it again .
atleast my babies got 2 nights of rest so far..
but what u think ? those are only deem cfl tubes 30 -40 feet away from my plants .
i have no idea .is it causing stress to my plants or not .

i don't know about availability in your area, but spinosad is my go to for mites. its a bacteria that is harmless to human, acts like nerve agent to a lot of insects, not just mites, then pretty much dissipates in about 3 days.
pyrethins work well, but i wouldn't use them after flower started. if you have trouble getting commercial products, a tea made out of the hottest peppers you can find usually works pretty good.
i' don't know how spinosad would work on caterpillars, BT, or Thuricide is the best product i'm aware of for caterpillars, and it has a good reputation.
a couple of regular lights 30 or 40 feet away shouldn't be causing too much stress, they can't be casting more light than the moon on a bright night, and plants have been dealing with that forever

Neem is the number one treatment for mites. I'm not sure what might work as a home remedy for caterpillars. As far as bud size it may just be typical of the land race sativas from the area but it also could be underdeveloped because of the street light. A lot of the sativas from that part of the world either don't develope into thick dense buds or they take a long time to get there so that could easily be it but then on the other hand I've seen street lights cause the same thing but, then again, I've also seen gardens exposed to fairly bright street lights that didn't seem to be affected at all. It's hard to say for sure which way that one goes.

neem oil works, i just hate it. i'm allergic and break out in hives. and it has an unpleasant odor. for a long time.
but it does work if you use it right

im not worrying about .bud sizes now .
that street light can cause them hermaphrodite .i aslo have auto flower strains growing nearby,i can keep them in dark because small size.
if those sativa goes hermaphrodite.its gna pollinate all .i will seend pics of street lights soon .

Some kind of curtain or wall could be put up to block the light. You could also do a light dep set up.

a piece of trellis strategically placed will block most of that light, especially if you can get some beans or cucumbers growing up it

@SchmoeJoe and @Roger A. Shrubber
i have fixed the light leak using some dark shade nets.i just use them when lights turn on.
im aslo growing malana bomb(auto) from Barneys farm . germinated on on 13 th nov and fisrt 2 true leafs came on 15th
and yet its growing very slow ! just 2nd pair of true leafs are showing up on 24 th .. what you think guys . is it slow growing ?? im gna post all the details of soil i made .for 10 gallon bucket

1 part coco peat
3/4 th part vermicompost
1/2 part perlite
1 handful pongamia cake
1 handful neem cake
1 handful wood ash (potash)
1 handful dolomite lime (for PH)
1 TBSP rock phosphate
1 TBSP bone meal
1 TBSP epsom salt
1/2 TBSP humic acid
1/2 TBSP seaweed
and i use 15:15:15 to feed them(not very often)
and thats it ..
is it gnna work as a good soil ?
or this soil causing them slow ..
temperature is between 21°C to 33°C(max) plants arw getting enough sun
soil PH Is 6.4
please judge on this data ..guys..

I have never had problems with street lights they are on fixed timers, the plants can get used to if they grew up near them.

Plants have more than one sense of time, they can sense short periods, as well as longer averages.
