Am I going to loose her? Bud branch splitting off trunk w fungus in tear crack - PIC

As the post title says. Just noticed today while inspecting for bud worms. There is a green mold all over the split area and it looks like it could kill the whole plant. This girl is a big, bountiful, beautiful, otherwise very healthy plant with lots of fat buds that still need a few weeks or more. I don't want to loose the chance to let these buds mature.

I'm hoping someone out there has dealt with this before and can offer some useful advice.

First pic is the branch split, the rest are some bud shots, just because..



The last two bud shots are from a different plant. No strain info on either.

Should be fine. Ya only got a few weeks left to finish so just try a simple fungicide in the effected area.

May want to try some SM90, not too much as your close to finishing, and don't want to taste it. I'd give it a couple waterings w/it.....

Looks like a gonner to me! You may as well just let it go until it looks like something adverse is happening but I would prolly just harvest it and be done with it. I don't see a lot of nutrition going through that stem. You sure not going to fix it.

Thanks for the tip. I just looked it up. What I read says it can be applied directly to the stem so I'll try that. I just sprayed a bunch of Safer brand anti-fungal (basically sulfur) on the split. I'll try the SM90 in a couple of days. Looks like it has other benefits as well. Might add it to my bag of trix in the future.

i swear tht looks like furasian wilt... its all bad try and kill it with alcohol

Is that from experience or just your gut feeling based on the pic?

you could wrap a damp paper towel or cloth around that split. If you do this right, roots will grow out of that split and you can keep that branch alive and developing. Well, if you take care of the mold problem that is.

If all else fails, and it looks at all like its spreading, I would cut off the affected area. Don't have the most experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but if I was in your shoes, thats what I would do. It looks like its branched out enough that you'll still get a good crop.

Make a concentration of 5% milk to 95% water and spray it, heard it works for PM, not sure about this situation.

Have you been removing Fan leafs and such? Just last week a guy had the same looking problem, and he was tearing off lower fan leafs and allowing infection and fungus and such to get inside the plant. All kinds of people had reasons for the problem, all the way to worms in the stem. But it was just damage from him tearing stuff from the plant.

That is a freaking beautiful plant I hope it turns out okay

pic 1 looks like start of bud rot, if so cut infected areas because if spreads worse than aids

Maybe not removing, but ripping?

And have you never heard of the milk method for removing PM?

if fungus then take a generous cut of anything remotely risimbuling mold. I've had rot in my exp, this looks like the start, the problem comes in the roots.

explain how this would encourage mold or fungus

Well not sure how valid my opinion is or not but my theory is start of bud rot, so you need to take a large cut of the infected area. Anyone disagrees I'm open to opinion.
