Kmus2K Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I had the leaf spot fungus on my first grow - it weirdly only affected one plant out of 3 (all the same strain too!) but I found that I had to hack off the affected leaves and increase my air flow... It never really seemed to do any real harm except they plant looked a bit shit - still in the end it gave the most "shitting bricks on the sofa" high I`d ever experienced - powerful stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santagrow Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yesterday I decided to use a garlic spray on my plants. I very finely chopped one clove of garlic and added it to about 250mls of water, brought it to the boil. I strained the water so there was no garlic left in the water. Waited for it to cool and sprayed my plants just before lights out. Don't know how it'll affect the mould spot yet but plants looked well perky today.

Scribb|e Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 There's a shampoo you can buy called 'Nizoral' - it's for cases of dandruff that are caused by a fungal infection, and are resistant to other forms of treatment. The active ingredient is Ketoconazole. I'm wondering whether this may be any good for combatting leaf fungal infections - the soap element in the shampoo should act as a wetting agent, and I know that it's really concentrated stuff - you only have to put a little dot of it in your palm and it lathers up into a great big mass of lather. I must try it on an isolated affected plant leaf, and see if it works without harming the plant. I would imagine that it would be a good idea to mist the sprayed leaves down with just water the day afterwards, or so, to get rid of the soap left behind, but it'd be an absolute revelation if it worked as well as it does for dandruff.

Church Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 The fungus seems to be in the air, so it's difficult to get rid off permanently - I'm having ongoing battles with it, but seem to have it in remission now Watch the fecker come back with a vengeance tho!!!

northeastbudlover Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 i must say that citrofresh seemed to make my already infected plants worse,wether its better as a preventive measure or not i dont know. two treatments of murphys copper fungicide and removing all infected parts has really done the trick on my baddly infected plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
