Has anyone seen something like this?

I have 5 plants growing in pots, outside. One other in the ground. They vary between Feminized Sunset Sherbet, Zkittles, & Gelato.

I never seen this on any plant, ever

They look like greenbeans! They are altering the genetics of cannabis all the time. This must me an off shoot plant. Showing the stress of the genes or something would be my guess. Some kind of mutation that crops up once in awhile…

Looks similar to bacterial wilt. Sent a pic to my daughter she works in a plant research lab

Stalk boring insect of some kind maybe :man_shrugging:
Its odd that it’s all over though and looks different then any pictures i see of them :thinking:

Cut that stalk peice open long ways and see if any bugs or dead bug bits are inside.

After reading last night, I’m about 100% convinced this is some sort of moth larva know as stalk borers.
@gkeylow have or do you see any moths around?

Wow, that IS a new one. I hope the plants can be remedied.

Wow that’s crazy looking is the brown part soft or hard looks like split and then heal back up

Yeah, but there is always moths around, but I haven’t seen any around the plants.

FYI, this plant has been this way since for a while. It started like it 1 stalk then looked like it was starting to split down the middle and make 2.

It smells like straight CHRONIC :dash:

Regardless, I’m gonna separate it from the other plants.

FYI, this plant has been this way since for a while since early June. And I germinated I think on Apr 17th. All the stalks started as 1 stalk then after a while, it looked like it was starting to split down the middle and make 2.

I’m going to talk to a plant biologist at Virginia Tech tomorrow, send some pictures and hopefully maybe they would know??? :man_shrugging:t2:

Checked with the daughter that works at lab she said if their is no insect larva or bore worms visible its more than likely a fungal wilt and to remove the plant.

Thank you for your reply!

I’ll take that into account. The plant has been removed from the rest, and I actually transplanted it into the ground 100 yards from any other plant.

I did find out the Virginia Tech has a Plant Disease Clinic. $35 for in-state residence and $70 for out-of-state. And considering VT is a 20 minute ride for me, I’m taking a sample there come Monday morning.

I’m interested in hearing what they say. Good luck.

I’m found out what it is.

Rhizobium Radiobacter
Bacterial Stem Gall

Check out the link I provided.

I guess any plant can get it, it’s something messed up with the DNA or whatever.

This picture of the wild cherry with it and you’ll notice that you’ve seen it on some trees.

Good work on chasing it down. We woodturners call them Burls. Highly sought after and quite expensive. But the grain inside varies from species and so on. I cut this burl from a tree about 30 yrs ago and just turned it about 5 months ago.

Yep that’s a burl and some are worth thousands of dollars

What are you gonna make it into?

And you let it sit that long before cutting into it?

The only reason it sat that long was because I wasn’t sure it was worth anything but you never know what’s inside till you get into it.
Well that natural edge bowl was what I made.
