Caterpillars

[James 1234]

Hey guys i have found a few caterpillars over the past week on one of my plants i kill them whenever i see them, but i noticed the fuckers have eaten the hairs of like 3 of my smaller buds are they now fucked? Or will they just rippen without hairs? Also i have heard of people using garlic water and soapy water to spray on the plant does it work and will it effect my buds there week 3 of flower thank you

And chillis aswell will they harm the plant or buds?

They kill the plant.. Remove them ASAP

 

They bore into the stem and lay eggs and kill buds  I have heard a few drops of detergent in water sprayed under the leaves can deter them

Cheers guys appreciate the responses are the buds fucked that they ate the hairs off?

Hairs have next to no thc anyway.. spray heavily with natural pyrethrum as it breaks down in the light and can't harm the plant in any way.. if u grow in an area prone to bugs and insects spray weekly to avoid any infecting your grow [emoji4]
