help! caterpillars!! :[

[dust22]

so, as most of you probaly know i have been posting new threads about my plant & how it's not been looking so well lately.

well, today when she came in at 7, i noticed a little green caterpillar.
after thoroughly checking through her, i found two more.

i have a bad feeling this could be a problem, and she's only got 2 1/2 weeks left on her, so i don't really want any insecticides on her, anyone know any home remedies for these little critters??

if not, what are some plant-safe repellents?

thanks!

Has it been eating the plant? If you have only found 3 and no bite marks on the leaves then I think with only a few weeks left to go you are fine. Any pictures?

[dust22]

well, i do have some pictures i'd taken earlier and posted but they're not of any help really, as they're from my camera phone..


the problem is, there are bite marks..
holes in some leaves, i actually found a leaf where half of it was eaten offf.
this is why im worried.

and im going to post the pictures anyway.

[JeffersonBud]

can you pick them off or are there lots of them?

[dust22]

well i just noticed them today, and picked them off.


im more worried about more coming back,
since they're probaly in my yard and shit

I see what your saying. There were a few products for such a thing. I can't say specific brands though. maybe check HTG supply, I think thats where I might have seen it. By the time you get it (being that they don;t have it at a local shop) your cycle might already be over.

[dust22]

oh no, i'll most definitley be out tomorrow to get it.
[my plants my baby;p]

i just..i'm not sure how to tell what's going to be safe for it.
and i dont think it's a good idea to ask the clerk "hey man, you think this will be safe for my weed plant? i mean, i don't want to die when i smoke this shit!!"

even though that'd be quite amusingg...

Try going to your local garden center anf getin some of this stuff called "Safer" Brand Insect Killing Soap w/ Seaweed Extract" You can use it all the way up to the day of harvest if you need too. All though I would stop using it for the last 7-10 days for best TASTE results. It doesnt leave any funny tase, but I do it just for the security of it. Hope this helps..........:thumbsup:
