Challenges: Bud Worms
I started growing outdoors a few years ago and my entire first run was decimated by the Eurasian hemp border aka bud worms. Didn’t realize it until it was too late. Started to see areas of bud rot and when I looked further, found these nasty little pests. Wish I had found Captain Jacks before all was lost. Serious lesson learned. Started your IPM asap, especially if outdoors.
