    HELP! Using Captain Jacks for Bud Caterpilars

    I was referred to the product Captain Jacks by a poster on this site for helping with bud caterpillars and was wondering how to apply it. There are no clear instructions on the spray bottle re cannabis. Some plants are in full flower and some are in veg but starting to flower. I am hoping to find out how to safely apply to help halt and deter these pests. I've been hand plucking these suckers and am getting tired of it. The veg plants have no infestation yet, the budding plants I'm hesitant to spray. Thanks for any guidance!

    1 Tablespoon CJ to each Quart of water, spray them from the under side then the top and soak them! Repeat in 2 days, and dont stop plucking them out.

      Thanks, The one I bought indicates ready to use. I didn't see one that needed to be diluted. As for the budding plants, is it better not to spray them?

    Spray like said above. It's ok if buds get some but I wouldn't soak them. Also would wash your buds when you harvest them it will rid them of all pollutants, dead bugs, and anything else that might have fallen on them. YouTube has some good videos on how to wash em just search washing my buds. I haven't done it but haven't grown outside in like two years and didn't hear of doing it until after that. I have a good friend who told me about it and have since seen some of the videos and very reputable people now swear by it.

      Thanks MeEasy! Washing sounds interesting and a good idea. Don't want to be smoking poop and other junk!

    I just came in from spraying my girls, used a gallon of spray (spinosad), most are flowering. Those "ready to use" dont go far, I use a gallon on the tomatoes when I spray them, 2 gallons in 2 days. And I will spray the tomatoes tomorrow, then the girls the day after, repeat (at least 3 treatments).
    Bugs will dig deep into those buds, you got to get the spray in there, so soak 'em!

      Egads! Guess I'll go back and see if they have the bulk available. I have the budding plants pretty much under control but all the others will be quickly infested and there are too many for me to monitor. So it's ok to spray the buds. I plan to use the washing technique anyways so by that time they won't have been sprayed any longer. Thanks again!
