Your plant is a leper. I heard they put those things on an island all by themselves in isolation. Just kidding, started sounding like bud rot, but I've never had bud rot on the top 1/2 inch of the plant. Whenever I got it it was on established buds on the plant. Any insects on it? Cause I haven't a clue.

Search your buds for little caterpillars they burrow inside your buds and do exactly what your describing...just look inside the buds for their shit...dont be afraid to dig into the bud a little with your fingers...it will do alot less damage than those damn bugs.

right on time.

i checked my journal from last year. they started showing up this week last year. the moths come in at night. they lay eggs on the edges of the top colas. the eggs hatch and the tiny little caterpillar burrows his way into the very center of the bud. nothing can get to him here. he is safe to destroy your most prized cola. they burrow down the center of the stalks and by the time you notice it's to late. look for random dead leaves in the middle of otherwise healthy colas. follow the leaf down into the bud and start digging. he's in there. you can often follow the poop trail. as was mentioned, don't be afraid to spread it apart. they bury themselves well. i would thoroughly go over all my plants and check very closely for dead leaves.

aaaaaahhhhhh poop trail!!!!! I chocked on my wad. That's some funny shit.

Sorry to hear about your bug infestation. Could be DEA-engineered - part of their eradication program.
