Bonemeal not working on 2x2 jungle saplings?

here is a copy of my code.

x = "0"
print "This is a TEST program it WILL break."
print "Please make sure to place saplings in the first slot and bonemeal in the second"
sleep(10)
turtle.select(1)
turtle.place()
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()
turtle.place()
turtle.back()
turtle.place()
turtle.turnLeft()
turtle.forward()
turtle.turnRight()
turtle.select(2)
turtle.place()
sleep(2)
while turtle.detect() do
turtle.dig()
turtle.digUp()
turtle.up()
x = "x + 1"
end
while turtle.detectdown() == false do
turtle.down()
end

For some reason the code breaks at line 30 and @ select 2 place doesnt use the bonemeal on the saplings and mines the sapling away instead please help

I don't think turtles can use bonemeal on jungle saplings. Also, the third last line should be

while turtle.detectDown() == false do

rather than

while turtle.detectdown() == false do

If you're looking to farm trees, I would recommend using birch for a farm, or spruce if you're using bonemeal.

Turtles simulate right click. They should be able to use bonemeal on anything that supports it.

And making x = "0" is making it a string, not a numerical value.

x = 0
-- To add 1 to x
x = x + 1
-- not
x = "x + 1"

on the bottom i would use

while not(turtle.detectDown()) do
  turtle.down()
end

just to get rid of the == false boolean when this does the exact same thing
