Default MORE fungus problems

Subtitle1: Fungicide Leaf Burn
Subtitle2: Example of What Not To Do With Fungicide

Was frustrated this morning when went out to check on toms. Yesterday, I was actually thinking my toms were looking better after having treated them with Daconil, Actinovate/ExelLG, Neem Oil or Greencure twice a week since my fungus episode about 3 weeks ago -- woke up this morning and they have something else going on. Like, entire leaves are brownish (as opposed to the blotches I had weeks ago). Not the underside - just the tops. What did I do wrong?

I knew I was going to spray them yesterday evening with the Actinovate/ExelLG mixture. So, before that I inspected them closely. Pruned off any more branches/leaves that looked to still have signs of disease. Was very careful to use Clorox Wipes on the shears and my hands in between plants. They really were looking much better and as I sprayed them, I was thinking they would look a lot better this morning.

I used 1/2 tsp Actinovate in 1 Gallon of water with 4 TBSP of Exel LG. Added some peppermint castille soap as the sticker. Sprayed them really well - stems, leaves, all around in the mulch, etc. It was shaded outside when I sprayed so I wouldn't think sunscald? I thought I was spraying early enough in the evening that it would have time to dry. Maybe it was just too humid last night?
