Caterpillars

[geelong]

Hi all,

im about two weeks or so from harvesting my sweet tooth (thread here: https://www.autoflower.org/f5/sweet-tooth-af-grow-27630.html)

and ive got a problem with caterpillars eating my plant. im pretty sure they are moth larvae.

is it safe to use neem oil this close to harvest? will it get rid of the caterpillars?

any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated

I'm sure you could use neem oil but try and pick them off first if you can.

Do you have a pic?

Check your stalks for small bored holes. If you have them, let me know. You may also notice, from them boring, at the base of the plant, there might be a termite looking structure of chips, from the boring.

Get rid of them ASAP. They could destroy a crop overnight....
