This stem disease began sporadicaally over the plant as the Outdoor Organic Sativa neared harvest ... was entering Senescence. Altho earlier a whole diseased branch needed to be picked. Big fukr too. Sad.Screenshot_2020-07-17 Inbox (9) - chokofluffybum gmail com - Gmail.png
At first I thought stem canker but now I 'm wondering if it's Anthracnose.
Have a look at the attached pic and see what you think.
Thanks in Anticipation ...

Yeah ive had this also. It sucks. I used a potassium based eco fungicide but had to spray it daily. It kept it 20190328_094438.jpga bay long enough to harvest but i lost a few branches along the way.

I'd put my money on fusarium. Its a fungus that blocks the stems and the plants have a "stroke" where whole limbs wilt and die. Look for discoloration inside the stem.
Thanks All for input. Porky: Looks like you lost a lot of that plant. Sad ...

Cooper, there was no discoloration inside the stem. Only the outside tissue was affected. I think it's difficult to decide which fungal disease is which. The reason I suggested Anthracnose is because I have Passionfruit and Dragonfruit that are showing Anthracnose infection.
I grow in a forest and in Aussie forests the primary means of decomposition is Fungal. So when a forest garden is mulched it's a sitting duck for whatever fungus is around.
Anyway this was no big deal. Most of the plant survived. I 've amended my mulching process but if I continue to have trouble I 'll have damaged stems analysed.
Thanks!

whats the difference between Medical Cannabis and Regular stuff?
CBD Content? or because some DC with a degree grew it then it becomes "Medical"

Very funny Everyone!
But, HomeGrownOrganic ... there was a bloke called Shakespeare who penned the phrase: "What's in a Name?" And for me it remains a bloody good question.
Of course it's very silly to allow Medical Cannabis and ban the other. But the place I know that can analyse plant diseases refers to Cannabis as a Medicinal Plant and who am I to disagree as long as I get what I want. They are a mainstream business but when a Customer pays cash the receipt just says 'cash'. Friendly, understanding bunch of people they are ...
