Main cola has strange growth

[tommy c]

I haven't seen this before on my other plants. This is the main cola, at the very top it looks very different from the other colas. Sorry for the bad pics!!!

That could be the start of bud rot but its hard to tell from the pic...if its purple it's fine...if that's grey it's not good.

 

[tommy c]

Its purple and the pics are the worst

 

[CelestialNurseries]

The picture in the first msg is not bad at all. The tip top of the bud is in focus which is what you want based on your question. The rest is out of focus which is OK since there is nothing there to look at.

Keep an eye on it and do another photo in a week.

To early to tell..but I doubt it

It’s a foxtail….IMO….it’s the tip that’s closest to the light, so maybe that triggered it.
Doesn’t look like rot and it’s in an unlikely spot for it anyway.
I’d watch it and you’ll know for sure eventually.

Couple more days and another photo will help tell what is going on.

It does look purple but there is a shade of gray in the area. Bud rot can show up just about anywhere in the bud. Foxtails can start at the tip or anywhere along the side of the buds near the top. So, "half of one and 6 of the other" or whatever that old saying is.

Looks like rot. It looks like there are discolored pistils in the region. Couple more days could cause bigger issues. I would clip out the infected section/nugget. Clean with ISO dab clipped stem with Cinnamon.

Cleaning with ISO after clipping area is a crude way of cleaning up left over spores. Any leftover ISO will evaporate. I use 100%iso, 91% should work just fine.

Cinnamon and I have a good relationship. It has stopped multiple issues for me. I was told about it about 20years ago. I use it for multiple reasons. But usually with plant damage I clean area with ISO, clip, clean with ISO, dab or sprinkle a little cinnamon done.

This was bod rot found by a friend who also used ISO and cinnamon

So you're like Gus Portokalos with his Windex..or me with my 1:1 salve...I swear it cures everything...my wife even uses it as a mosquito repellent

Don't know who gus is but I consider myself a healer.

These are other infamous healers over the years
