I am a little frustrated but I planned for this. On Sunday evening at dusk I sprayed bleach mix on only lower half of plants just to be safe and test it. I had mixed 6 ounces of clorox bleach with 2 gallons of water and 2-3 ounces of dawn soap.

Monday morning and evening all looked ok. I had to travel on business Tuesday through late Friday. While I was away there was no rain. This morning I go out to garden and half of my plants lower stems are dead, others have yellow leaves. However I am confused because others have leaves that looks like my earlier posted pics with mixed brown/yellow and dark spots.

So on one hand I think the bleach spray killed the parts of plant it touched but am also wondering why there are still some leaves with the discoloration and do I have early blight and when bleach touches it it causes death.

Is there any product that cures blight?

I am going to copper spray this evening hoping it’s proven safe for plant and will stop fungus, etc..
