Eazy yall. Wondered if any one else has had this and how they dealt with it if they did? next doors wild roses have rust spot all over them, its infected my apple tree over the fence, and now has my 2 big early skunks aswell. one is in flower the other still hasnt turned, must be 2 types of phenos for the same plant from seed, anyway i sprayed them a while a go still in veg with Dithane and that seemed to stop it dead, but nows its returned. I am cosidering painting the leaves with a paint brush and dithane to stop it? I have also harvested my apples, thrown them away and sprayed the apple tree and next doors roses to try and stop anymore out breaks, i hate using chemicals, so if theres any better solution please tell me. many thanks in advance. Mr T

I would put this in general growing questions with photos of infected plant, 1 picture speaks a 1000 words. I no dithane works well, but do you really want to be smoking dithane poison residue, I would rather have the rust and increase the air ccirculation as much as possible before I would use any poison like dithane.
e2a: And if your growing ORGANIC BUD you do not want poison like dithane otherwise it will be far from organic bud mate.
Peace,

Dont really like taking photos of ganj and uploading it tbh. Its definatly rust, I dont smoke the leaves and am not spraying the plants only painting the leaves. Does dithane actually get absorbed in by the plant?, or does it just sit on the leaves like as a fine powder when its dryed stopping the mould/fungus/whatever spreading?

Do you really want to take the chance of inhaling Dithane, if it goes on the leaves then there will be residue of Dithane in the buds. Without pictures mate you wont get much help because people on here who no what they are talking about and give there advice freely to members do not like guessing a diagnosis in case there wrong and then you might get upset at the death of your plants.
e2a: If you throw the leaves away your potentially throwing away lots of bubble hash? But I would not smoke bubble hash if the leaves had Dithane painted on them at some stage.
