I'm sorry, I don't know either, but maybe you should isolate them from any other plants until you figure it out. It looks like some kind of bacteria or virus to me. Did they get chilled or exposed to something?

Hi,
I just took it on myself and cut the bad leaf areas off then sprayed the plants with Phyton 27 yesterday afternoon. I figured it couldn't hurt in case they had developed a fungal infection or a secondary bacterial infection from sunburn. I really wasn't aware if they had gotten burned anytime but that's not to say that it hasn't happened. They've been in my greenhouse and I've had my shadecloth up for a few weeks but on the few sunny days we've had recently, the sun was very bright. Maybe they weren't acclimated to that much sun yet (just a theory). ??

Answering your question about cold, I know that definitely hasn't been the case. I have kept the night temps. regulated with heaters.

In any case, I'll do as you advise and isolate them from my other plants then move them to a less bright area later. I just don't know how long I should isolate them, though. ??

Back to Phyton 27.....I've never used it before now so I don't know if I should spray the plants again with it. ?? If I should, neither do I know how many more times, of course.....or if the one time is all that's necessary. ?? Do you have experience with it? If so, I would appreciate it if you will let me know.

Thanks for your reply and advice. Now that I've heard from you, I feel more confident that I did the right thing.
Vicki
