I would take a shot, or you will have NO bud left..Caterpillars suck..Literally! I use Captain Jack's (safe for plants and us) and it will kill most nasties fast! (2 treatments for Caterpillars imho) Bastards!
Thanks buzzer. Unfortunately it's bad. I'm going to have to remove large pieces to get them out I think
I'm not sure what to do about those. I've cut away\removed most of the rot and the buds with tunnels and killed lots of small green caterpillars. Hopefully it was infested with egg and this is the result and now they are hatched and removed. Really sucks that my first grow is being destroyed. Pretty demoralizing
Spray em down with Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew fast..That should take care of stragglers, hatching eggs etc,..JMHO and good luck..Lil Bastards!
Thanks again buzzer! I've treated them twice now and cut out/off any affected areas. So far it looks like I got those little fucks under control. Just wanted to say thanks again for the help
