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
