outdoor surviving

well i gotta plant thats at least 3 months old and has only stacked twice, the stem is red and its very fuzy..also has a nice stinch to it, wonder what i could do to keep the catepillars off and will they eat on the bud when it appears

if u put hot sauce on it or soap, all bugs will leave... then wash it off... but that can effect taste... try spiders or even better like my friend bug boi, catch that shit.

oh and a caterpillar wont usually eat buds... it will eat any and all leaves it can, and try 2 sleep inside ur stem 2 stay warm, and 2 build its cacoon, causing ur plant 2 live in slow agony.
