I would have liked to obtain better images but from what you can see and what I can tell there is an insect that has made a hole at the junction and burrowed inside my plant! In fact this plant's growth had appeared to be stunted a bit for the last 2 weeks but otherwise seems fine, the insect/larvae pops in and out and I'l liketo pluck him out with some tweezers but obviously I didn't plan on seeing that little bastard, I just hope it doesn't mature and start eating my plant inside out, let's hope it grows wings and just flies away! Very odd, how can I expell that little fucker? Any natural remedies?!...

uhhh theres no pics and the description you gave is way too vague. How do you expect someone to know how to kill an unidentified bug? Smoosh it?

Sorry guys, here are the pics, a week later it transformed and there were eggs/spew all over, I washed it off and since the plant is fine.

the best thing you can do is cut it down ASAP!!! If you don't ,you'll regret it down the road! Nothing like haviing your plant destroy from the inside out! Really dude, if you got more than one plant,,,,what the fuck are you waiting for?
Destroy it before it destroys your stash!

Good luck!

Had the same thing happen to one of my plants earlier this summer. I just sprayed neem oil directly into the hole, didn't effect the plant 1 bit. Growing like crazy!
yah, mine looks crazy (great) and unless someone can tell me why I must cut her down, I need some expert info. she's 9' tall and in bud right now, and would net over a lb of afghani weed!

Puna just needs to chill, those are from 4/5 weeks ago and just got around to posting, them, it was a learning experience but I would have never taken your advice to chop. No Sir E Bob.
