i have had great success with watering neem oil into the roots at 5ml/litre once a week or so. i used to be devastated by grasshoppers and caterpillars but no more.

How or what is the best way of getting rid of caterpillars that get into the buds and ruin a seasons hard work. They are the most frustrating critters and it is a bitch to pick through your beautiful buds at harvest time. I went through it last season in the South. Cali. Desert where I live. Jon

I have been spraying a neem oil solution around some of my outdoor plants. It seems to deter grasshoppers and ants. I spray several times/week with a solution of 1 TBS neem oil per quart of water.

Sometimes neem oil sometimes seems to fuck up the leaves on my indoor ganja, as a foliar spray. I don't let them get blasted by the grow lights for about a day after. Does seem to keep problems down used regularly...in my limited experience...

I tested neem on soil too, I think that was ok for preventive.

Thanks!

either too strong or not emulsified enough...neem is effective in quite small doses when sprayed. it gives my leaves a nice shiny gloss mixed with a little seaweed and the plants love it..

but since using neem as a drench i rarely spray it these days...bugs just seem to avoid my plants...seen bugs hop on then hop straight off again...

One thing I have done to limit the caterprillars that works is to pick the eggs off the plants before the worms hatch.

If you go out EARLY, you can see the tiny, spherical eggs on top of the buds. This might not be practical for bigger grows, but I am very sure that picking these eggs off helps lower the numbers of the budworms.

I think the eggs are from a moth, they lay their eggs on the tippy tops of the nugs.

I'll pick between 3 and 20 eggs per plant every couple days.

I think once the sunlight hits the eggs and they warm up, they instantly hatch and climb down into the nugs and begin setting up their little apartments.
