I noticed this growing on my branches that start from the stalk.
Is this harmful to my ladies? I can kinda scrape it off.
Not sure what do make of it. It’s on lost my trees

These unusual bugs hang out on your stems and under your leaves without moving. Scale insects suck the life out of stems and leaves, weakening your plant if the infestation gets out of hand. They may also release a sweet sticky substance known as “honeydew” which can attract ants and cause dark patches of sooty mold to appear on your plant. Luckily, scales aren’t the worst bugs for cannabis plants as they are relatively easy to remove, but you should get rid of them as soon as you notice them.
Wax scale insects are like barnacles on your plants. They gather on your stems and leaves but basically stop moving once they find a spot they like. I’m not 100% this is what’s on your stems but looks very similar
