Can somebody help me figure out what's up w/ my baby? I plucked over 50 worms off of it yesterday and found a bunch of cob webs and a few spider mites on it. I sprayed the plant w/ Neem oil and the spider mites started running for the soil, but the worms didn't budge. After plucking all those worms, there are still more on there. Here are a few pictures;

Nobody knows how to deal w/ worms? Let's go stoners.... am I the only stoner to experience worms in his buds?
your plant being in bud , youd be better off hand picking the caterpillars.
but if you want a remedy you can spray the plants with Neem Oil(70% strength)
I would rise with fresh water a few hours later, after the Neem Oil has had time to do its job
Neem oil 4t per gallon with a t of liquid dish soap in warm water!
Too late in flower to be using neem. Your buds will taste like old jockey shorts.
Pyrethrin bomb is pretty much your only chemical solution at this point.
HAnd pick worms.
Also you can vacuum your buds... I'm not kidding. Test first to make sure your vac is not so strong that it damages the plants, but it's one way to reduce the # of mites present.
Also adding more breeze to your grow and reducing your temps will slow them down quite a bit. They hate the cold.
Or you could release ladybugs.
Or you could try no-pest strips.
But a few words of wisdom, if you have a bug problem, never initiate flower until you have dealt with it. Your options are limited by the presence of buds.
Take this grow as a learning experience and next time bomb the room twice before adding plants, and treat the plants with neem oil applied lightly and regularly (at less than suggested dosage) up to week 4 of flower.
