Need help: Pyrethrum overdose

[Themad1]

I've just sprayed my baby's with pyrethrum for caterpillar control, and now fear that I have destroyed all my hard work, all the new shoots of growth all curled up and very poorly. Has anyone else had this problem and can it be remedied? Plants are outdoors and are about 2 weeks from pre flower.

To avoid this in the future i suggest only water on your plants i know bugs can be a problem but smoking bug killer not recommended there are other organics you can use but i suggest only water.

The plants are at least 10 weeks away from harvest and pyrethrum is an organic pest control spray, there would be no residual remains left at all by picking time . I'm not new to growing but this is the first time I have used pyrethrum. Obviously I have applied it too liberally and in doing so have damaged or at least stunted all bud sites. Definitely will not use said product on future grows.

Thanks mate. It's pretty gut wrenching to see, I can only hope that they pull through it. Definitely a learning curve.
