I found budworms on a plant I had outside that I finished indoors. I picked them off then defoliated and put them under 12/12. Over the next 10 weeks branches would die off one at a time.
I noticed that they were drying out at the stem and I could see it turning from green to light brown then the foliage would wither.
I dunno what it was, but I had only one branch that made it to 10 weeks (Bubba's Gift). Expensive bugs because they wasted a lot of time of the growroom but if I ration I should be able to hold out until outdoor finishes.
My questions:
1. What bugs were they.
2. Can I reuse the soil (I soaked it through with h202 water) or should I ditch it into my veggie garden? I don't want whatever those things are to contaminate but I also am all about sustainability. The crisis!
