On a less happy note, does anybody know what this is from? I posted this in the plant problems forum too, but thought I should post it here since it could be from some bug that mainlanders don't have. It has also been ridiculous windy here so hopefully this stuff is from wind damage and not something like bore beetle.

Here's a branch from one of two plants. All the leaves were limp and dying. Crappy pic, but you get the idea.

And here's the base of the branch after I cut it off. This is the spot that had me a little worried.

Here is a close-up of the base of the branch on the other plant where it looks like it's bruised.

And here's the full shot of the "bruised looking branch".

That's Depressing..
I've had it happen a few times and it doesn't seem to do much besides kill a branch, but I check on my plants almost everyday and cut them off as soon as I notice it and throw the branch away from the plants. Maybe it would end up being something worse if I let it go on longer or didn't do anything about it.

What is really depressing is going through the buds off the plant on my avatar and finding out almost all of it had mold inside the buds. We had some really wet winter and spring weather this year and it took its toll.

Do you have bore beetles in your area. They attack branches Aloha DB
I don't know. I was thinking it might be bore beetles. I was hoping you'd chime in since I remembered you lost a big girl last long season to bore beetles, yeah? Do you have a recommendation for fighting them? Thanks East.

I had to harvest my plant, posted a few pages ago, early because it went from white hair buds to red/brown hair buds in 2 days after 35 days or so of flowering. I felt as though she was dying fast. Cloudy and Amber trich's made me feel a little better about chopping her.
I did find a couple of these guys in a couple of buds...
Does anyone know what kind of bug it is?

Thanks East. I don't know what's up. I've never had it happen before and two of my plants have it.

On a lighter note, here's some pics of plants I did during winter season.
