Hey everybody.. I'm growing outdoor, and I'm having horrible problems with bud worms. They are eating my bud and causing bud rot and laying a shit load of eggs..


Is anyone experienced with this problem? And what can I do to get rid of these fucks and keep 'em away!

And will all of the eggs being layed effect my harvest? I'm worried about sellin a bag to someone and them finding eggs or a worm in it! lol

Some help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks guys..

i use "safer" brand caterpillar killer, it killed most of the pillars but there are still some. u can use it all the way up to harvest.

that sounds scary, pics?
bud worms suck and can be a pain to remove- in my experience with them with my roses.

i got some awsome stuff that helped me out with them and it can be used up to harvest day, but i am not sertain it gets worms. ill check tonight. then theirs always the Bacterium, probably your best choice and easier to find- i belive its by greenlight products adn can be used up to harvest also (its smelly, but on a plus side its a bunch of bacteria that kills worms so no chem's) BT Worm Killer spray

You must be west coast -every outdoor crop I did out there had a mantis host... cool stuff.

This bit with the "budworm" needs better details;

What color?
What length?
what part of the world?

Safer product does work on most everything that is "catapilar"... But it would be good to list what you've found there..

i hate bud worms and used to spend mucho time finding and killin em by hand. just look for secondary leaves that are beging to die and dig in. it's like doing surgery.

most bud worms come from moths and butterflies so if you cover ur girls with a mosquito net it will save u a lot of pain
