Initially I thought this may be bud rot, but then I noticed a caterpillar on each bud near the damage almost every single time.
Any help would be appreciated. The brown patches fall out very easily and there is a very small, thin, fine white cobweb looking string deep inside the bud. Is it from the caterpillars or are the caterpillars just a coincidence and it is actually bud rot or something else?
Also, as it started to get closer to winter, I noticed the plant becoming purple. Some nights the temp would have got extremely cold (5 deg Celsius) and a lot of dew overnight. Is the purple colour a result of the cold temps or more to do with the strain (I have no idea what strain apart from it being Sativa) I assume the cold temp and colour is unrelated to the brown patches problem mentioned above, as the patches are only in small sections and when I remove them, they don't seem to spread. We are well into winter and I still have a few buds on the tree as I want to experiment and bring out more CBD in the buds. It' starting to get really CBD heavy now, few more days and I'll bring her in.
