It's not a positive thing, risk em all or pull one ? Your xylem and phloem tissue are probably not going to work properly , creating only more issues the further you go along, opening up a host for pathogens, pests and diseases , once started they are spread long before you see anything

I don't know what it is , but your stem looks like it was melted away. Can't be good, lol!
In gardening, the health of the group always trumps the life of the individual, unless you're a gambler!
Ask yourself this, what do you stand to lose and what do you stand to gain? You've got 14 other plants that are healthy. You could cull this one sickly looking plant and harvest 14 healthy ones, or risk 14 healthy plants in order to try to get one plant to not be so sickly. Not to mention the sickly plant could get the others sick.
So, when it is put that way, the choice seems obvious...

Yeah that looks weird, I would get it away from other plants before you have an alien jump out of that stem.

On the stem, is it just the one area that's showing the discoloration?
What does the base of the main stem look like?
Looking at the leaves it could be a nutrient issue, but the spot on the stem makes me wonder if something contaminated it, have you topped or trained them?

It's site contamination. Anything feeding off the "veins" ,if you will, through the main stalk is getting contamination too, explains the discoloration and localization. I've seen this before in my own grow. Mine was caused from a wire I was using to train a branch outward. The stem, leaves, and bud where the wire touched discolored. After I took the wire off, the damage remained but the plant did fine. The contaminated bud was harsh and dry, smoked like shit but still got me high.
What I learned from that, never let metal touch the organics and always wash my hands before doing any work in the garden.
(edited) Side note: You're probably going to find that the triches on that bud are going to hit peak maturity, harvesting time, at a much earlier stage then the rest due to the stress.

I don't know plant physiology as well as some here, but it looks like the phloem has been melted away and you're left with the xylem. The phloem, IIRC, conducts food from the leaves downward. And the xylem directs the water and food up the plant tissue.
So, xylem intact may explain how the branch/plant is still alive. But, still you've no idea of what happened in the first place? The plant could certainly make it till harvest, that just three weeks of worrying that I wouldve culled
Even if you cull it you can still make hash, so not a loss.
@Dr. Who what is going on here? Any ideas?
