I grew 4 big indica plants this summer. However, in August I noticed that the crowns of all the plant were turning yellow and dying off. I thought it was a lack of nutrients, but during harvest I discovered the the real problem. All of my plants had some type of burrowing bug in the centre of the trunk/stem (they were big 6" diameter stems). It seemed like the bug may have burrowed into the stalk right where a stem branched off. I've been googling and can't seem to find what type of bug it is. It seemed like it was a beetle or something like that.
Ideally, what I want to do is figure out how to avoid this problem next year. Any ideas what bug it was and what I can do?
Thanks
