I tried to blow this one up to make it clearer, but look closely. That looks like the little bat rastard spideys and their turds:

They look more like aphids to me but I hit them both (plants) with neem oil yesterday and again just now

I don't understand why the dead branch was hollow for an inch or so

And that's right on except for the gunky brown stuff and of course no sign of worms

And the stalk you posted looks like this:
The hollow is because it was eaten by something from the inside. IMO
Now, hit me everybody...but it sure looks similar to corn borer or other larvae damage!

@ SUE,
Look through these pictures. Especially the last two. There is more than one problem going on, a few posts back I saw the carcass of an aphid or thrip on the leaves, and the back of the leaf on this set of pics looks like spider mites to me. You will see the little white things on the leaves in the pics, exactly what I had last year on my outdoor grow. They were aphid carcasses. I got close ups and posted pics.
He's already done something for that, but this dying stems one has me a bit stumped. I don't think aphids or spider mites can do that, but I'm still checking.
Would you disagree?
Yes I did find a shedded skin and it was white like a really small grasshopper kinda

The gunky brown stuff looks like it's at the base where you cut off the stem. On the main stem.
They only need a small hole to get into the plants. IF that's what it is, it's probably moved to a new branch.
But there's no way to know for sure unless you catch one in the act on a dying stem.
BTW, do you have a jewelers loupe or magnifier?

Here's the thread by Relaxed Lester on the corn borer:
Be Aware of the European-Corn Borer
What is that on the tweezers?
Another name for the worms, or different species of them is "beetle borers".

Idk what that is but I found it on Ganny just now and I've seen another of these one time about two weeks ago on Kera and I just squished it and never thought about it again

Yuk, slimy looking thing. LOL I haven't a clue, did a little search on google images but I have no idea what to call it, so no luck.
Hopefully someone will pop in that recognizes it. I've given some thoughts on beetle and other borers, so let's see what else people have to offer.
Glad you had the neem oil handy!
I gotta get some stuff done here, will check back later. Keep the hunt on for critters if you can.

Ya know the most distressing part about this ordeal is that this is the second time this has happened to a plant of mine last time it was 2 plants and it was a race to flower because I would come out in the am and a new branch would be dropped dieing with a big premature bud on it and I'd have to cut it off and litterally I watched those two plants die a branch at a time over 2 months until finally they were done flowering but by that time I think there were only a few branches left on each plant it was a big bummer
