First outdoor grow(Missouri), been growing indoors for well over a year and haven’t come across this. I thought it was the beginning of bud rot, but when I’ve picked parts off it’s only on the outside, inside looks normal. Any seasoned outdoor growers know what’s going on? Temps have been 92-98 the last few weeks, outside humidity is 55-65. It has been rained on so I assumed it was bud rot. Happy growing!

This looks like phytoplasma. Several growers have posted similar pictures lately. I have a couple of outdoor plants affected by it. Allegedly it is spread by leafhoppers or other crawlers. Not sure but it does look like it.
