Are they tomato caterpillars? I had some on my porch veggies a while back and they went ape. By the time I found them they were bigger than my thumb and sucking them dry.

Here's a big one.

They're probably budworms. Use BT (Basilious Thuringiensis) and all will go away (except in your case). Re-apply three times.

If they're in you're flowers. Good luck saving your buds now. You shoulda been on top of that.

New growers. Learn from this.

[Da420wn]

how long should I hang dry before I jar?

the stickies that the moderators have posted in the catagories will explain better than I, but, when the stem inside the bud snaps when you break it open. read the stickies in dry& cure. that should help
