Will my Sour D be ready in 10-14 days? Pics!

[Kdeezy]

Hello, I'm a medical marijuana patient and this is my first year growing.. I heard Sour D is good for anxiety and depression so that is what I usually smoke and decided to grow.. I'm down to the wire right now but caterpillars have made their presence known! I'm pulling 2-5 of these suckers off every night..

My plant started flowering around the first-second week of august and I'd love nothing more then to let it grown until late october but I don't have the time to pull off caterpillars every day and I've gone pretty light on nutrients so far and don't want to have to use sprays.. I'd rather pull the plant a few weeks early than lose most of it to cattapillars or have to use some harsh spray (I know they make organic ones but I don't even want to go that route.) Plus I want my sour diesel to be more of a heady high, which I hear is achieved more when the plant is pulled early.

I can deal with caterpillars for another week or two but after that I feel like there is the potential that it will drive me insane!! Does anyone know how much damage caterpillars can do in a months worth of time if they go unchecked??? Any help would be appreciated.. And here are the pictures, sorry i took these at night so its a little dark

Pull it...

If you are picking that many 'pillars, you've got serious trouble and your top bud may be filled with webs and pillar droppings by now. This mess will quickly breed mold.

I've salvaged a bit of lightly caterpillar damaged bud by carefully brushing the webs and shit out of the bud with a toothbrush under magnification while trimming. Not exactly medicinal quality.

Yeah I've actually pulled off several tips because they were starting to mold and had tons of cat droppings in them.. I'm on day 3 of my flush so I think in another week it'll be ready to pull.. I could probably get away with pulling it now since I gave it the minimum amount of notes and only like 2-3 a wk, but I want to be on the safe side.


And thank you for the welcome!

from the pic it could go another month easily

use google, get some pepper spray and let it finish

Ok.. I've actually got some captain jacks dead bug spray on hand, anyone have experience with that? I've used it on other plants and had good success. Or should I go out and buy BT? I just don't want anything that will effect the quality of the plant, and I could easily go another month of even into December if I could get rid of the cats.

I didn't know those cats could be so evil.

I had what looked like a few bite marks on my plants a month or two ago. But I think they abandoned the idea because my plant is too tough!

Good luck and welcome to ICMag!

Ive been battling the pilers with spinosad, either captain jacks or montare garden spray has been working well for me as well. Spray them every couple days with that stuff, really soak em good. FWIT I took my true sour diesel on Haloween last year, it was very premature all through October and took until the end to finish, yours looks like it has 2-3 weeks left.

Ok ima douse the plant when I get home then.. Would you suggest spraying the plant or putting it into a eye drop device and putting it directly onto the infestation? Also should I do these at night to avoid burning the plant? I'm ready for all out war on these suckers and would love to avoid pulling the plant too early if I don't have to.

They hatch at night so I like to spray the crap out of them right before bed, spray the entire plant, leaves, buds, stem, everything those little bastards might be on.
