I found 2 caterpillars total this year- they were maybe the biggest caterpillars I've had, but didn't seem to have caused any damage
Not really. They can handle overnight temps of low 50 degrees. They usually feed at dawn or dusk.Anyone know if cold temps affects bud worms?
I wash. This year I was recommended to use potassium bicarbonate in the first bucket, peroxide in the second and then plain water for the 3rd. So far good. I'll most likely be sticking with it next year.Plus, you want to wash off the BT as well. Does anyone use anything besides peroxide? Wash, don't wash?
I wash all of mine. If there is rot on the plant, I use more H2O2, otherwise the cup per five gallon bucket sounds about right.How many of you wash your outdoor bud? I remember when I first saw a video of somebody doing that I thought they were nuts.
I started taking down my plants this week and was washing a batch up in 5 gall home depot bucket, with water, cup of peroxide. You can see all the dust, small flies and other debris floating on the top when your done. You'll also see dots of an oily substance. The peroxide strips off any unseen mold or mildew. I rinse them with a misting wand attached to my garden hose. High tech ops here boys.

I only grow outdoor every summer. Every harvest I'm reminded how important it is to wash the flower. I do a good wet trim before the wash. You have to go through it with a fine tooth comb. Literally checking the inside of every bud. Some damage can be hidden. Tiny flies stuck on the bud, etc. Nothing hits the rack contaminated.I wash all of mine.

I like it. Sterilize the fuck out of it. The cleaner the better.I wash. This year I was recommended to use potassium bicarbonate in the first bucket, peroxide in the second and then plain water for the 3rd. So far good. I'll most likely be sticking with it next year.
Someone recommended that you dunk your buds in Potassium Bicarb? I can't imagine why that would help. I've sprayed with that, but it does not get rid of fungus, it only makes the leaf surface unlivable for fungus by raising the pH of the surface. Maybe I'm missing something, I don't see how dunking in it would help anything.I wash.

I lose a few to termites every year. The kick in the balls is it almost always happens when they are flowering.I use Nemototes for all bug ..Put out when time They make them for any bug...Our problem is Termites and The same stuff ya;ll have .. But is it great for outdoors...
this looks like it keeps small worms out too. How did it do?PVC trellis frame wrapped in mosquito netting to stop the moths from laying eggs. BT and tweezers to take care of the current caterpillars
Hope ya got the secret sauce on hand to spray those suckers down.Bloody Bastards are back.....Its an army of them all spawned in a matter of days.........
