    Hi everyone, just gone in to week 2 of 12/12

    Girls are looking tip top but I’ve just noticed this on one of the stems. It could be something it could be nothing.
    Better safe than sorry, it kind of looks like a little resin blob lol

    Sorry couldn’t get a closer pic, camera wouldn’t focus

    Any chance it could be from an insect? Geez I hope not. Just a thought.
