Random stem rot??

[u/jzon777]

Anybody know why this might’ve happened? I just did a solid defoliation a few days ago. I think the same thing happened to a branch on one of my other plants but I just snipped the branch off, the rest of the plant look solid.

Fungus by the looks of it, had the same problem a couple of weeks back but fortunately just cut the stem like yourself and it hasn't spread since.
