No look closer above calyx.
Looks like corn burrowers.
I use bt for that .
Don't think if those are eggs just plant material for Caterpillar digging it's way into stem.
Those are nasty they get into the buds too.

So, I'm a first time grower. Growing 2 plants of king tut and 2 of nor'Easter. 2 are doing beautifully, but the other 2 that are closer to flowering have been having problems. Some leaves have been going yellow and popping off at the stem. I noticed the issue has been getting worse, so I took a closer look and found these little clusters at the base of each leaf shoot that fell off and a few other shoots and branches. I'm pretty sure they are egg clusters, but I don't know what they are or how to tackle the problem.

If anyone has experience dealing with this has any tricks on how to get rid of them, I would love to hear your thoughts and advice.

Yeah, we already spotted the mite damage and have been trying to address that as best we can. Sadly, I live in a very buggy area, so as soon as we get rid of em, they are right back up. Have em raised off the ground to keep some bugs off, egg shells in the soil for slugs, and a few other preventative measures, but they are freaking tenacious! I guess bugs love pot as much as we do.
