I don't know about spraying when no signs of disease is showing, gotta ask Bill about that, but on one thread somewhere I had asked him if it was ok to spray blossoms and fruit too . He said yes, and I haven't had a single problem and still had fruit set.

Real shocker that first time, huh. Makes you wonder if you killed your plants off totally. I know the first time, I over did the spray. I guess I was in mild panic and since I couldn't see nor smell the bleach I sprayed mine twice. Really soaked them babies and fried them it looked like, but in a few days they had all new beautiful growth .
I agree and would like too to see the bleach spray method should be made into a sticky.
Bill... I do have a question for you too, please. I was waiting til dusk to spray, but now you know we in the 100+ and even at midnight it is still in the 80's+ with barely a degree or two lower in the early morning dawn. Is there a temp, do you happen to know off when the temps get just to hot and you shouldn't spray or do you just keep on regarless of temps?
