white goo

[ganjafarmer]

looked at my babys today and one of the plants had a white sticky substance comming out of the top of it. i paniced and poored water on it trying to remove it. the weird stuff turned into snot and oozed down the whole plant it was a white substance thought it might have been white mould after reviewing over a hundred pics of white mould on the net i dont think that is what it is.nervous of infecting the other plants i removed the plant and had to kill it other wise i would post a pic. has anyone ever heard of this or seen any thing like this?

Best bet is a pic mate, and if you have trouble getting close enough get yourself a $5 magnifying glass and hold this up to camera lens to get a cheapo macro shot....

 

Off chance it might be some kind of egg cases for various insects, even frogs! (although they'd be strange ones to lay on top of a mullie.... ) or powdery mildew, although that typically attacks the undersides of leaves, it's not unheard of to attack a bud or two....

 

But yeah, we can't really do much without a photo bud... could be any number of things really....

Yeah a pic would be great but to be honest it sounds like mould to me

I dunno stoney, most moulds are pretty water repellent in my experience, and usually not gooey but more fluffy/thready.... still, it's probably best to remove the plant if you've spread it around everywhere with water and don't know what it is, but I woulda just chopped the affected part and asked for id....

 

That's me though.

A pelican with a gastric problem flying overhead shit on it?

roflmao.... that's actually moderately possible ya know.... Got much birdlife around ya ganjafarmer?

Sounds like bird shit to me too...that would be a shame, having killed a plant because of guano....

[ganjafarmer]

not bird shit im growing indoors. cant take a pic i allredy removed the plant and once i put the water on it it turned to a clear sticky substance just wanted to know if you guys ever seen that. thanks

[Pam]

Damn...not me, and I hope I never do, it sounds creepy.

I'm sure someone here will figure it out though. Could you have dropped something on the plant?

[ganjafarmer]

i dident spill any thing on the plant i had lights covering it the whole time the plants are on 18/6 right now and i check them every night befor i water them and ever day when i get home from wrk when i got home i checked them and noticed it right away it was freky and it really sucked to have to kill the plant but i did not want to infect any of the others i looked on the internet and could not find any thing that looked like it.
