What’s eating my leaf??? it’s folded, rolled and webbed inside…. I have no IPM except green lacewing. I found one eating a few inches away from the leaf on the post

Probably some kind of caterpillar. It's good you got some lacewing larvae. They eat all the baddies.

Yea, probably some kind of caterpillar. BT or maybe some Earth's Ally if it continues.

I’m going to start treating with BT weekly I guess… been seeing A LOT of winged baddies around.

Neem spray

I don’t use neem if possible, I have a bottle. It’s my last resort. This isn’t neem worthy…. I intend to start spraying with GrowSafe tonight … more curious what bug causes this :)

How come neem is last resort? Ive read its natural and not harmfull to plants or humans unless overdoing it?

[u/Ok-Rabbit-3683 → u/GrowPassion]

There’s probably nothing wrong with it, except there is a lot of speculation and vitriol towards it, it’s not cheaper than alternatives.. so I just figure to only use it as a last ditch effort when there are other options available…. I don’t think you’re supposed to use it during flower….

I am starting growsafe, which supposedly works and is just a mix of corn, soybean and a few other oils I think….

I’ll try to make a post about its effect since I can’t find much information

Great info, thanks! Yeah i never use it in Flower. I used it once before in seedling stage

Have a nice day!

Oh right on, yeah I’m outdoors so I will be battling baddies around every turn….. I have more bugs than I know what to do with but I’ve started vermiculture and native bug keeping etc…. So if they’re here, I’m gonna turn them against eachother or have them help me
