Look for a hole at the stem were the bud starts to die. If there is a hole look around for dark brown/black pellet looking things the size of a pen tip. Can't miss them they will be clustered together. If that is the case you have pillers.
I had the best nug on my plant break off half way up 4 years ago. The rest was great.
I hope this is not the case!!!!!
Good luck.
Oh! The reason I keep bringing up pillers is cause outdoor has few problems but this is the BIGGEST.
Plus I'm a stoner and I repeat myself.
