I have been having bud worm problems. Caught about 4 on the leaves 2 on the buds and found one chomping away from the inside and removed that branch. I have been keeping my eye out looking for bugs every 1-5 hours but am really worried that more may come and just need an idea of how much longer I must fight these pests!

All the hairs are still white and the trichs "look" clear cant really tell without a scope or macro pic. I would GUESS a week or two but they look great. best way to gauge it is from the trichomes but if you cant do that the pistils should turn brown and kinda shrivel up a little. the plant looks like its still flowering nicely.

I've seen the sticky. But it's not that simple.With the bud worms trying to fuck up my crop and with eviction from my home coming soon I am not sure i will be able to keep this one going for more then 2-3 weeks MOST. But I wanted to wait 3-5 more weeks. I was not asking if they were done. No. Everyone can see this. I just want to see how many people think it may be done in the 2-3 week range. And maybe what kind of high this MIGHT produce. It's not like I expect anyone here to just know. I just want personal opinions. Not sticky threads xP

Maybe even a little more. I say 20 days.

So then you think the plant will be acceptable for harvest between the 7th of October and the 14th? If the plant goes much longer then this I may be in trouble.
Anyone else agree with Col.Forbin and Nog?
Edit: I will post three more photos on the 1st for a re-estimate

Spray the budworms or they'll fuck up your buds.

I'd say you'll be ok pulling in 2-3 weeks.

I cannot. But I check my plant thoroughly. Almost abusing the buds just to get a good look from every angle!
I do this every one to five hours. The plant LOOKS clean of worms.But I may have missed some of the very small buds that are more hidden.
Do you think they'll keep hitting the plant? (keep landing on it)
I do. I hope not though.
I'll have to remove any more that show up. :\

Thing is, they are usually INSIDE the bud where you can't see them. I know I have them when I inspect a budded branch and see some dead or black material. I just soak with spinosad, so far needed to do it twice in the past month, but have had very little damage from them

 

[sniperx999]

Oh but I can see them in there. O:
So could you I'm sure.
I take a weak (5x) scope and inspect the plant from as many possible angles as I can. If I see small amounts of webbing I start to "abuse" the bud a little sometimes to really get a good look. After finding small patches of THICK webbing you have found the bud the worm has chosen to live in. Taking a small metal object I remove the thick webbing finding the worm sitting under it dug into the bud slightly. Using the metal object remove the worm and kill it. I have found plenty of worms on plants and never gotten to the point of my buds browning before with this method. I know it's not practical for everyone. But it works if there is no spray handy.
EDIT: I'm assuming this might not work after they have been there for some time. Although like I said I check every 1-5 hours. (not counting dark hours)

Picture bump?
Some pictures of some lower branches. The first three pictures were from two of my three tops.

Edit: The black specs are dirt from transplant. There is also some vermiculite stuck to it.
I also had a problem with mites earlier on explaining the damaged leaves on some of the lower stuff (like the one the lady bug was on)
