Hey guys this is my first grow and I'm worried I might not make it to harvest since something is eating my bud sites and leaves. I had a catapillar problem a week back but since I've sprayed some been oil and set out some catapillar killer I haven't seen any turds or bite marks on the leaves but now the whole bud sites are starting to disappear one by one. Any ideas on what could be doing this? I have seen some deer tracks really close to the grow slot but I'd expect the plants to be dead if it was in fact the deer.. I pee around my plot and I left an old gym shoe I found to leave a scent but I don't think it's deers killing the plants.
Hmm it's hard to tell by the pictures but are those big chomps taken from the leaves? They do look like caterpillar of some sort. You'd be surprised how much plant the big guys can eat. I would try getting some Safer Brand Caterpillar Killer and using that because neem oil doesn't do shit to caterpillars. It has BT in it that basically annihilates caterpillars. Not sure if you have grasshoppers around there but it could possibly be them too. If it were deer you would think that the entire plant would be gone.
