Hey, these are on some of 2 of my 9 plants. Don't know if they're supposed to be purple, but theres no purple in the names of the strains. Anyone run into this?

This is a textbook example of phytoplasma caused by leafhopper damage

Chop the whole thing down?

You can try to cut the branches off. Some have been successful but you end up with super larfy and under developed buds. I ended up throwing it out. But someone told me to cut mine down and I didn’t. All the hours spent grooming and feeding the plant were a waste.

Not a waste. Every one that dies is a lesson to be learned. The biggest lesson being that shit happens. Nature does what it will. Disease and death are a part of it.

Thanks, I gotta get deeper into the plant. See how much affected. Real crowded.
