same exact weekend last year when i noticed the first small blotches of powdery mildew show. every leaf on all three plants were inspected and the 10 or so leaves all together were hit individually with stylet oil in a jet stream blast cleaning the fuzz off the infected leaves. i added some actinovate and not sure if it will work mixed with the stylet oil, but it couldn't hurt in my mind. so all the surrounding leaves near the affected ones were sprayed with the stylet above and below. this was done in the cloudy morning when first noticed today as i was pruning some pop up terts and giving the weeds a haircut to keep them below the leaf canopy. tonight i hit the plants with a good dosing of quintec fith the stihl fogger at 3/4 to 1 tsp per gallon along with some 3-18-18 and a lite 0-0-25 mix along with some fulvic acid. i will foliar every 4 to 5 days from here on out and go heavier with the 0-0-25 after day 55 of the pumpkins and at that time do equal portions of both 3-18-18 mixed together. tomorrow i will take some measurements and pics. also have now 5 long neck swan gourds that have taken and 3 nice fused tomatoes going with the first one getting close to being ready for the scale on the 4.04 butler that was 19.25" circ a few days ago and no signs of ripening yet. it is by my guess about 3 lbs right now and rounder besides being wide. hard to tell how many fused inside a tomatoe that looks like one, but the bottom shows the truth with maybe 4 or 5 chambers.
