Lumps on many trunk of my plant...

I've kind of overlooked these but recently wondered what they were, and if they're damaging to my plant...



I found this thread... https://www.rollitup.org/t/little-brown-lumps.405299/ ...and it sounds like the same thing.

Should I remove them?

Yes, you should remove them

I've just gone over the whole plant & removed as many as possible.

I'm kinda kicking myself about this, seeing as the plant is halfway through the flowering stage.
I hit it with some organic bug spray months ago, to fix a different bug problem, and assumed these lumps were just part of the plant!

They were all over the bottom section of the trunk, and along a few of the lower branches.
How much damage do you think will have been done?

Are you able to remove them? Scale needs to be sprayed with sulfur at an early stage otherwise it does nothing.
R u able to identity them? Ive had Oyster shell scale on my outdoor bushes,had to chop them to the ground.

I've wiped them all off, as many as I can see anyway.

My plant was losing 10-20 leaves per day towards the early stages of flowering. I just assumed it was the plant switching its energy into budding.
I get the feeling it'll have been these buggers that had something to do with it, along with the rather stunted growth of the whole plant.

It's budding nicely, and I'll get plenty out of it. I just wonder now how much better the plant would've grown, had I known what I was dealing with.

This is my first grow & it's been a very interesting exercise with a steep learning curve. Next time should be much better...

Neem oil sprayed on the trunk is also a good way to kill scale.
