Caterpillars are the real enemy of an outdoor sativa in September and October, because the moths lay eggs in the developing colas when the plant has weeks to go. You spot the damage as brown, mushy patches with dark droppings inside, and by then the rot has set in around the tunnel. A BT spray applied every week from late August is the routine suggested on https://hazesativaseeds.com for long finishing strains, and it has worked for me without affecting flavour. Stopping the sprays two weeks before harvest is enough.
