Caterpillars / BT spray

[Stickers]

Can I use BT caterpillar spray on flowers? I'm about 3-4 weeks from harvest.
I see that it's on California's list of approved pesticides. Any advice, precautions?

Newbie question but what is BT spray?

[Tersky]

BT stands for bacillus thuringiensis but can be labeled as BT by stores. It is a bacteria that you spray on plants to get rid of caterpillars. The caterpillars eat leaves with the bacteria on it and it explodes their insides. I use it on my tomato plants but have never had to use on cannabis.

Don’t ever spray anything on flowers that’s just my advice.

Last year I used spinosad and plucked all I could find. This year the praying mantis have done the job.

I have/had a praying mantis on one of my outdoor girls. He's lived on her nearly all his life. He found her when he was tiny, now he's about 2.5-3" long.

Here's mine thats not camera shy, the others hide very well. I did move it (and another) the other day, once on my hand I tried to put it on a GG4, it said "no way dude"! So I took it to the GSC and it moved right off onto the plant.

I wish we had mantis around, i've not seen one this year. I just have butterflies landing on my buds LOL oh and a occasional bee.

The 40 acre outdoor commercial grow next to me puts these out, and ladybugs, they come here and I am glad to have them!
Next year should be even better!

I don't spray once my buds are into their final weeks. I walk through the garden and take long long looks at each plant now. I shake them alittle, i inspect every branch and i mean i look at it all. Unless you got " sterile grounds" you are in the bug zones growing outdoors. I'm a recreational/hobby grower only grow for ourselves. So with the legal limit of plants i can maintain decent outdoor plants and i don't grow " monsters or over 6ft " .
