BT applied about 2 wks into flower= no bud worms which are larvae of the white moths you see flying around,they lay eggs on the plants and the little fks hatch and generally go to the best buds on top,I use spray w/ soap w/a habanero pepper juice I make and spray the plants at dusk to keep bugs away or ANYTHING else that is curious during veg. months and add BT to the mix on my last spray,the last 2 harvests have been clean.

BT didn't work for me, at least not very much. There is usually plenty in my garden for both the bugs and me, I call it the nature tax! The real killer for me are the years leaf septoria strikes, once you got it, it is there to stay and you end up harvesting early or not at all. I do find phenos that are resistant and try to cross those and find better adapted plants. I have also had plants get only 2 bud worms next to plants that get dozens. I'm in the middle of the forest, there is no getting away from bugs.

This year I wanna go monster as well
Hope u have a good spot n no trespassers tho. Monsters draw a lot of attention

a couple years back I did one in a raised bed with mostly fresh soil sourced locally and a bunch of other things accessible locally. Killed it.
I would recommend some sort of amended earth with box or fab pot on the ground and create natural drainage in the surrounding earth. Not a fan of the bucket bc anything 20gal or more get heavy quick if ya plan on moving them, or top heavy if big in a small bucket with more upkeep. U could also put em wagons, a trailer, or pallets and move em around if ur privileged to have that option.
