bacillus thuringiensis..or BT is great here's the Caveat..You will still see the Moths..BT only kills the larval stage..(Caterpillars)..once they bury their Godless little asses in your precious nugs..it's too late. The moths you are seeing are coming out of the ground where stage Two..(Pupae) overwinters..BT will not Kill the Pupae or the Moth....that's OK..that is not what's eating your Buds...only the Caterpillar Stage....NOW..wanna fix it?...Get some caterpillar killer at your garden store..MAKE SURE it uses BT..BT is a bacterium that once ingested by a caterpillar..produces what is called a Cry toxin in their Gut..which means Curtains for the little beasties..the key is START EARLY and be consistent..you will want to start spraying in early bud stage and re apply EVERY FIVE days..if they don't eat the BT..it won't work..so it is imperative that you start BEFORE they are inside your buds...BT is completely organic, so you can spray right up till harvest with NO ill effect....Be SURE to read the ENTIRE label on the product, and apply exactly as per instructions..we do this, and I have NOT seen a Budworm in My precious mmj in several years... NOT ONE ...............Piece Man:sleep:

I have some microscopic worms, mites or caterpillars, I don't know what the hell they are but you need a high powered scope to see them and they look like alians as they just eat my buds away. can anyone help? they seem to be colorless ,they got four legs and two antenas... What the hell ?

Just remember, BT is only effective if the caterpillar actually eats the plant (not a contact killer). BT is a bacteria that destroys the digestive system of the caterpillar (it's not a worm either). Finding them and kill them with your fingers or tweezers is good, but BT is safe and effective. DRENCH the colas from the top to bottom, it's okay. Nail the little suckers!
