What is this?

Post by JCcares »

Still a newbie.

Never seen this (see image).

What is it? Do I need to worry about it so something?

Thank you for your time to share your experience 🙏🏽

This is the best I can get from your photo:

Hard to tell without more detail, but it looks like a fungal infection. If that's the case, a soil soak with a systemic fungicide would attack the infection from the inside out. Unfortunately this is the worst possible time of year because a soil soak can't be done until your next growing season begins.
