Desperately needing help!!!

Help help help. Im having major problems and i've seen it before. There little orange worms. Then eat the inside stems of plants and when they flower then eat the buds and stems in the buds. They infest crazy style, weaken the stems to the point they cant hold there own weigh. I have about 22 left and the worms are in all of the plants. those 22 are in 5 different spots within a mile radius, some next to a water source, some a cornfield and both spots are really humid most the time. I have searched the net quite a bit and i cant even find what the name of the worm is. Someone please help me they have already weaken my plant stunned its growth and is threatening the survive of my entire crop. I need a way to rid my plants of this burden. somebody, anybody.

P.S. This is what they look like!

Re: Desperately needing help!!!

I don't understand it either a seems like its not a common problem but this is the 3 grow i have seen them. Neem oil is what i have used everytime to, gardensafe 3 in 1 from walmart. maybe i havent used it enough. i spray once every 10 days or so and it rains all the time where i live. maybe i need to go to chemical pesticides... dont want to but i think its a stronger solution then neem oil. (i also perfer all nature organic growing methods) but in this case its either horrible bud with worms and worm shit or lushish buds with a hint of chemical taste what a choice...

possible causes (im just throwing them out there)

-corn fields (farming methods maybe worm helps corn)
-bean fields (farming methods maybe worm helps beans)
-dear (feces maybe)
-moisture level (worm might thrive in those conditons)

what i dont get is each season i have put in different places but i still get worms

Re: Desperately needing help!!!

the picture makes the worm look massive next to a small peice of bud, there actually small maybe 1/4 inch or less. and theres a bunch of them.

Re: Desperately needing help!!!

thas fucked up shit. i say u grow indoors in an isolated clean area where bugs arent penetrable like a grow tent or somethin. be sure to be clean of bugs spider mites etc when u enter the area... When one plant gets them ,be sure to believe that all of them are gunna get them.

oh and P.s. - why would my stems get soggy when using an ez cloner?

Re: Desperately needing help!!!

maybe you should use some chemical pesticides for a week or so... then flush after so hopefully it will not effect the buds... damn thats a problem man
