Thanks for the help.

I had problems getting the 325mg enteric coated aspirin to dissolve. When cut in half with a pill splitter and put into 4 oz water the coating quickly separates from the aspirin flakes and can be fished out with tweezers. The pile of little elongated flakes would not dissolve in 4, 8 or 12 oz water. When I nuked the 8 oz jar to just a boil (3 min) the pile of flakes got a little smaller. Finally I went to a quart jar half filled with distilled water and nuked for 4 min and then an additional 2 min. The flakes got smaller and some disappeared, but there remained a cloud of small particles in the water.

Added tap water to make a gal or so and used as a dip for the seedlings in 5 1/4" pots and bottom soaked the root systems.

I had striped the diseased and most other leaves off the plants a few days ago and have been treating daily with Lotus water from my sanitizing system. If the super-oxygenated water hasn't already killed the bacterial speck/spot maybe the aspirin water will help.
