Been growing on and off for a while and I've never seen anything like this. It appears to be black and fuzzy on the new growth, no signs of it on the top bud or most of the buds, but it is on some of the smaller, lower buds. It starts with the dark coloration towards the center of new buds and continues out onto the new leaf growth, leaving darkened spots along the leaf edges and stems and seems to consume the whole bud. As you can see from the pictures, the pistols are discolored while the healthy looking buds are white and clear. I don't know whether I should cut off the affected branches before it spreads or if it's something normal that I shouldn't worry about. As for weather, we haven't had excessive rain or real high humidity since budding started. If anyone has seen this, or may have any ideas, please help. Thank you.
