Sounds like a hemp borer.

Yes, I know. THat was one of the points I was trying to make.

You may want to get some BT on your cannabis plants if you havent yet. Squash borers love weed. Nice gardens

Looks like cane borers I suck at posting links google it.

Borer hole , the tell tale signs are the sawdust created and expelled from the hole onto the stems or fan leaves.

I guess it depends on which borer he has. Everything in that picture leads me to think the branch will be fine. What has he got to loose by waiting and watching?

Squash bugs arent stem borers, You get something different, Squash stem borers come from a pretty little red moth that looks an acts like a bee We have corn borers also but dont seem to bother weed plants. Been dealing with the little shits for close to 40 yrs.

Very likely a corn borer. They often lead to bacterial/fungal infections from the frass they leave inside the stem.

Not sure if it's corn borer or squash borer, probably don't matter as far as treatment, the patch is surrounded by corn farms, they rotate crops to soy beans every other year.

I haven’t really heard of hemp borers being in Oregon.

That's kind of the way borers look. The fan leafs start to wilt with the rest looking OK. Look for the stock to start turning brown and maybe a small hole at a branch. If that's what it is you may need to harvest that part of the plant early.

How do you guys deal with them? They seem to get worse every year at my patch. I've come to find out they come from a moth that lays eggs that hatch to larva..which corkscrew into stem and destroy plant.

Yes they bore up until to big to fit in stem then they bore down into the ground over winter then hatch an fly in the spring to start all over again. Are you in the northern latitudes? 41 north or more. Theres different types of borers down south.

...work, providing support, having to use a ladder to check the plant, more water. The upside is that they deal with most issues really well, stem borers for instance, don't even faze them! I can pop seeds in April, put them outside directly in the ground June 1st, and they can easily be 10 to...

Stem rot that moves to the whole plant thats what he has to lose I have seen it I cant believe you do nothing about stem borers. I have tried the spray BT in the hole an slice the stem open an remove the borer its useless I just cut 2 in below the hole an move on.

Must be a different borer than here.

Bacillus thuringiensis is acommon biological agent effective on many soft bodied garden pests like squash borers and bud worms on your cannabis. The other thing sounds like an analgesic for your sore fingers after trimming!

Also I had same thing break down middle I put it back and used some zip ties and it healed itself. other had borer right in middle I killed with Vaseline put in hole that healed also both were just before you can see buds just early pistols showing

It's not borers, If they kill a limb it will yellow first. Lots of plants around this year with dead sections right about week 3 of flower. I had it in the bush on plants in holes not deep enough or amended well and lost moisture.

Good call, I didn’t. I hacked away about 6” below the affected area. If more problems pop up I’ll look for borers.
