again today while checking plant found that these worms are starting at tips and eating through buds and burrowing through the stems. id assume that they arnt going to stop there. what are these things and will they kill the whole plant? my first plant that lasted long enough to flower and now these worms are the ones enjoying it
please help in any way!!!!! are these worms smokeable?

Pick them off manually.
Place collars around the base of each plant- a party cup with the bottom cut off, slit down the side, sunk about an inch into the soil around the stem, and taped back up will prevent some types of caterpillars climbing up your plant. These are actually called 'cutworm collars', but cutworms are more likely to attack your plant at its base. What you have is probably something else entirely.

after searching another site threre is something called budworms. the only remidy that they had listed there was to shake the plant several times a day.doesnt sound to usefull seeing that there inside the plant. have tried using the soap-water mix but doesnt seem to bother these guys. 3 weeks into flowering outdoors so i dont think it would be safe to use any pesticide. sorry for so many post but cant get pics on comp and trying to give enough info for somehelp
anything else i could try w/o worring about final prod.oh yeah about a week ago i tried the nicotine spray also with no result.
