I am wondering wtf this is. Just seeing it today..only bud I see that is is near. Help should I cut that bud.. it is wet out still, going to get better look later
Had a similar occurrence on one of the outdoor ladies also (Northern Lights). Thankfully it was not on a main and more side growth, so I snipped it off and am just keeping vigilant.

is that a confirmation I need to cut that, it's a cold I'd rather get rid of one then have it spread.. definitely not looking good to the high, LOL

I’m an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure type of dude and by no means an authority, I’d just snip and keep an eye for future spread.

The one picture isn't clear enough, but it looks like purpling to me. A better pic of the discoloration, would be more helpful.
I saw some on the leaf as well .. I may have made mistake. It is kinda purple .. I guess I am out to learn.. I guess I've had a better camera. I might have identified that earlier. Still debating if it's purple or black though.. I'm seeing what looks like black fur when I look at it. Could be purple though

I guess I learned something,

Should I expect most buds to start to look like this then. If you couldn't tell I did the ultimate and cut that. anger at the moment, as I'm confused this is a virus I should have done it. From what I'm reading on duck duck
I'm familiar with the visual symptoms but I've never had it and don't have experience on how it progresses or how to deal with it.

I have had it on a few outdoor plants over the yrs its a type of virus I believe it comes from the tri colored leaf hoppers. mine kept getting worse so i removed those tops. Also each time i got it i had funky looking stems here an there flat instead of round. Might want to take a close look at the stems to confirm.

I'm leaning towards it being Phytoplasma.
This is it. My plants get affected every year to some extent. As Thumper said, leafhoppers are carriers. There’s no cure…just keep your plants healthy and they should be fine as long as it’s not too widespread. You can cut the affected tops but I’m not sure if that has any positive impact. Little is known about this disease in Cannabis.

That's what I saw was virus. Once this was brought up. At one point it said it was enhancing it was common in agriculture. How is it there

Mine's gone pretty well instantly black and pretty flat. She don't seem to be bothered too much for me taking that. So I took a couple other bad fan leaf. And it's an extra training. Now needing those smaller buds more. have to do some reading. For the particulars about this. I thought I made a novice Choice by cutting, very appreciated off the site.

My stem is flat and black inside. Making me think I may need to go lower, I gave it a day I don't see any other infections. That's what this is cuz it's a covid for plants. And it can be transmitted by insects. I certainly haven't done detailed research on it I'm confused. Clarification on host is host the plant or his host the bud. Or perhaps the branch The Host.

Two more this is a virus does that mean my plant is done I have one right next to it and it's not effective. As of now. Three buds so far third week of flowering. Removed the sources seems to be spreading though. I read that article I still can't see the transmission other than through bugs.

I'm not sure how many more I'm going to cut off, as you say what's the positive to it. It's not rotting. However I've cleaned it up and two more today. It's a decent size plan so I'll try to make it last for 5 weeks more. I have one girl sitting beside or not affected.

I had this Buffalo Leaf topper, and it's a carrier. Little info here. Thanks for everybody's help. I will keep notes on if things get worse or not update this anytime I have an update. This is the new ongoing thing.

Need help please share .
I'm back again with issues still present. Smaller bud attacked overnight. It's not rotting, looks like a corrosis on the bud. Not on the leaf the leaf looks fine just says black spots. And I cannot rub them off this is the closest fan leaf. Going to leave this with their comment from me for 8 hours other than answering questions. I am going to let this one grow out, as cutting during flowers not seeming productive. Obviously I won't let allow it to fact others. Going to cover it. Let it mature safely. Rainy day here, I don't know what else to do. As I said cutting doesn't make sense if it's not invasive or affecting other buds I don't have confirmation. I will post pictures. Looking for a share on this, seems to be a unique issue and I cannot find it elsewhere.
