Ive been reading all your posts for a while now, but I just HAD to jump in here. My first crop developed a fungal infection early during the veg state. Here I am almost 5 weeks in flower and the infection is coming back in a nasty way. Ive sprayed using Serenade Disease Control, and everytime I spray it seems to hit my crops back harder. Now I am thinking about chopping early because I dont want to risk losing my crops! lol

bish have you ever used this [Fungus Fighter] its very similar to dithane only in liquid form

OK, I've just bought some of this. The choice was Fungus Fighter, Dithane or a Copper solution. I went for Fungus Fighter because it came in a spray form and it was cheap.

After getting it home I read on the back:

For use on ornamental plants

Do not use on food crops

Now this worries me a little. I'm not worried about being 100% organic but this does not look very human-friendly. I'm not going to eat my green but it will end up in my blood stream sooner or later.

Copper doesn't worry me so much - I don't think it is classed as a 'heavy metal' - but I didn't have enough cash on me for this. I should have gone for this in hindsight.

What about this Dithane stuff? Is it toxic? Can it be used on food stuffs?

The spores that are already on the leaves will continue to develop. Citrofresh will only stop new spores from developing. Copper fungicide kills it but if you are in flower then its damage limitation time and Citrofresh is the only game in town.

It does what it says on the container. It doesn't do what you think it does.

well there you go :)

Citrofresh will only stop new spores from developing. Copper fungicide kills it

so its the copper fungicide wot will KILL the spores not the citro Not A Number,nice 1 dude :)

so i might as well ditch the citro until i get to flowering fungi probs,but if copper fungicide KILLS the fungi spores,then carry on spraying with citro,i will eradicate the fungi & live happily ever after :wink:

well sprayed with copper today,gunna stick with that & mist 1 week from today ;)

thanks Not A Number!

take care ;)

I've had serious outbreaks of fungus this year (that and the borg) which just about wiped out every plant.

I thought I'd recovered on several occasions but no, so now I'm spraying citrofresh (5:1 mix) as a barrier control from the moment a plant pops its head above the ground. Anything that does get fungus is segregated and sprayed with copper fungicide (Murphys). I'm applying copper fungicide to all plants in the last week of veg then I'm continuing to spray Citrofresh as a barrier control every 4 weeks throughout flowering.

Once I have 2-3 crops done (without problems) I'll ease off on the spraying and see what happens. Environment is dialed-in at the moment so in theory I should have no problems. We'll see. One thing for sure though - 2006 has been the worst year for fungus I've seen and I hope to hell next year is better :)

Edit - you can't mist them weekly with a copper fungicide (if that's what you meant). Follow the guidelines for tomatoes as they are usually the nearest plant to cannabis listed on the pack :wink:
