Well i got it..
found it on my zucchini this am. These plants are in a seperate essentially organic garden for all the eating veggies. I then checked my 2 ag's. the 1332 wolf was clear but i found and removed about a wheelbarrow full of low growing under the canopy tertiary growth that has sprung up in this heat and my laziness. the 870 wolf had the earlist signs with the spotting and some gray "fuzz" in aone area with poor air flow. this was all on the same type of teritary growth which i removed and 4 main leaves. i left the big leaves on but removed everything else. -This was despite weekly spraying with garden disease control(chlorothalanil)alternating with 40% milk spray since late june. Today I applied a solid spraying of immunox+. anyone else with symptoms?

Jeff, when we started to get the very warm nights last week, I was a little concerned myself.Yep, I found some on my 1274 Wolf next to the fruit. It is not bad. I plan to hit this plant with eagle tonight, as I ran out of time last week to get that plant.
We are in PRIME conditions for mildew to grow.Be careful when you cut leaves with mildew on them to not brush against anything or shake them, or you could be spreading more spores.

Cooler today so maybe the heat is subsiding. removing all that growth was more of a speed issue with the high temps. so i probably spread some spores but the immunox should clear it/prevent it all, same chemical as in eagle. Now there seems to be good air flow with the excess under the canopy growth removed.

I use the same thing every year and it usually stops it in its tracks. 2% milk and water. Top and bottom of the leaves.
