Well boys and gurls heres the latest .. What ever this crap is its tough stuff. I have treated with every thing I can come up with and its done nothing except stunt and damage the plant and has not even slowed the Black stuff from showing up on about 50% of new growing tips. It has also been transfered to a couple bud tips on each of the plants in the area so I think that its a spore based pathogen and transfered by either my touch or insects feeding about.

Picking off affected tips gets rid of it and it does not seem to spread as a virus through the plants structure and onlt grows where it lands and spreads from there. It absolutely looks like Black Mold but even a 2 Tspoon of bleach in a 1/2 gal of water has no effect on it, neem = nothing, 2 different spectracides have had no effect on it. If left to grow I think in a couple of weeks I would have total infection of the whole plant new growth.

So to keep it in check I have decide to cut the girl down and burn in the fire pit . It seems the only plant that is fully involved and the others are thriving, Its starting to look really sad and it mostly due to me poisoning it so much already.

Sux but sacrifice for the good of the whole I guess..
Quantummist Reviewed by Quantummist on . Black Tips Help Please Hello all.. Gots a prob.. I have a few plants outdoors and I am getting some of the new growing tip turning Black from the center and shading to the surrounding leaves . It looks a lot like mildew you see in a shower but it does not rub off. I have tried a fungicide and it has no effect. I pick the tip off and next time I go back I have a few more with it starting to form at the tips.. I can supply photo if needed but if anyone has any idea what I could do to correct I would be very appre... Rating: 5
