Inspection, inspection, inspection. Those darn white flies. You can spray Dipel around your area to cut down the population.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but try applying bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) it is safe for humans. I know that a lot of people do not like pesticides so try using it. It gets a bad rap thanks to uninformed people thinking the Bt gene introduction is evil (thanks Monsanto) but it really does work well if you catch the larva early.

When should you stop using before harvest? I would hate for my bud to taste bad =(

Not impossible but damn hard. I had an invasion of the bastards this spring. I got a hose end sprayer a gallon of CJBBS and in the early morning and late evening I sprayed around every plant and any place they were seen also mowed all the places they could hide. They hop on and off the plants and they lay eggs in the soil so getting them and the soil wet with CJBBS kills the eggs and the adults. It took about three weeks but they're all dead now. Persistence.

Have you tried diatomaceous earth on the plants to kill the bugs?

Questions

First season growing outdoor in Southern Ontario Canada, I went to my local hydroponics store and asked about bud worm and if they sold anything. Guy looked really puzzled, he'd been there for over a decade and said he never heard of anyone really with budworm issue and had nothing for it. So my first question is.....do I need to be concerned about this like how regional is budworms lol?

Second question is I bought some BTK, if I spray my plants with it, how long do I have to wait before I can add pollen to the bud sites? I'm trying to cross 2 plants.

Edit: I asked a second hydro store and the guy gave me the same response, I don't think it's something I have to worry about it in my area.
