So I’ve been having these little caterpillar things on my plants. Well I seen one and killed it no problem. I went up there this morning and found two more. Pulled them off and killed them. I am about 3-4 weeks into flowering. How can I stop these damn spawns of satan. I was thinking maybe some type of bug netting?

Your sure your week 3-4? If the buds havent started fattening and the strain is somewhat mold resistant id spray BT. I dont like spraying anything in flower but those fuckers will Rot your bud. I think its your only hope but do it ASAP. the sooner you do it in flower the better chance you have of not molding ur shit up. this will buy u some time before all u can do is pick them off.

yeah, a spray from homedepot will help you kill them but you need to hurry before harvest, cost prolly around 12$
 
damn I feel sorry for all you growers in "warm all year round climates" in Ontario, Canada we get lots of bugs but right around our harvest times it's cold so all the bastards are dead from the drop in temperatures or too busy trying to survive rather then chow on some magic grass

theres something thatll work for $8 at home depot called THURICIDE BT. it should work, supposedly u can use it up till harvest. im at like 4-5 weeks in flowering and keep finding these little dead tiny bees, just a few that ill grab with my scissors and cut in half. just ordered a 10x10 net w straps. you think the moths will stay away if i spray the mesh with the stuff?southern-ag-bug-killer-spray-100520028-64_1000.jpg

BT will kill the worms. Safe to use all the way to the end. I use it in my veggie garden as well as for herb. Those little worms will fuck your crop if you don't deal with them. Probably already done some damage.
too little too late for my herer, lost half the foliage to the heat wave and wind gusts and then on top of it found caterpillars on almost each stalk, 1-2 though theres probably more. used up some old BT and am gonna get me some more. hopefully i can save her. she has little foliage to work with and all these pillars need to fucking die. covering her in shade during these 90-100+ afternoons. hoping it wont be too windy either. all in the course of less than half the week, my harvest has been reduced by at least 60%. Fuck dude Fuck, thats all i gotta say.
