Seedling foliage disease?

tomgirletc · April 5, 2019

I'm planning on planting in root pouches in one week but looks like I might be in trouble already. I’m going out of town for 5 days so I need to know if I should get something sprayed on these kids ASAP and advice from the experts would be very much appreciated.

After hardening off, they have spent probably 6 days and nights outside full-time now. Two nights in a row, but not last night, I sprayed a soap type spray for aphids. It has been slightly chilly at night in the 50s. As you can see, I use DE medium until they go in their big containers with Pro-mix. I only bottom water. Use a splash of TTF in every watering, probably a little less than tablespoon to a gallon of water.

I’ve not had this problem with seedlings before, nor any very worrisome problems with seedlings at all until this problem. Looks like the type of crud I might see more on mature plants near the bottoms that I just clear out but doesn’t usually concern me with so much healthy plant up the main stem. I don’t want to take off leaves on babies unless I must and definitely need to know right away if I should buy copper or fungicide.

What do you all think?
