    It's just amazing how fast problems develop. Yesterday everything seemed fine. Today I have sooty mould on several and also, whitefly.
    Measures taken so far:
    i've just thoroughly sprayed them with a solution of citric acid (to pH4), EDTA 0.2%, methyl parabens 0.25%, sodium benzoate 0.5% and salicylic acid 0.05%, in warm water. That should kill any fungal issues and also all bacteria, incidentally. Now waiting with the oscillating fan on high, for them to dry out so I can tackle the whitefly problem. But I think the sooty mould is far more urgent. The methyl parabens, salicylic acid and benzoate are antifungal and antimicrobial. The EDTA is a chelator and acts to deny fungus the micronutrients it needs to reproduce.

    Not sure where you are in your growing phase but anything mold related, check out Trifecta Crop Control. Its ingredients cause cell lysis in fungal species... knocks it out on a cellular level. https://trifectanatural.com/ - it also helps with whiteflies. Can be used up to 2 weeks before harvest.
