I wasnt able to tend my plant as closely as I would have liked for the last week and this is what happened. How does damage like this affect the size of the harvest? Can it repair itself? Can anyone tell what kind of bug is doing this damage? It is really only on these top two branches. The rest of the plant looks fine. Today I mixed up some Tobasco, garlic and cayenne pepper and gave it a good dousing. I hope that helps.
