Preventative Spraying ??

FlaHotPep · Apr 11, 2008

Hi. Ok..now I will be a pest on growing my Bhuts/Nagas. But maybe others will benefit from my questions.

Now that I have TINY baby Bhuts/Nagas, and others, sprouting...should I spray them, LIGHTLY, with a fungicide spray, to prevent fungus or any other disease.
I have some fresh copper spray mixed up that I spray on my hybrid tea roses to TRY and prevent black spot and other fungal problems.

Will spraying these hurt them...help them..be a waste of time?

I gave them a shot of Peters Fertilizer today. I am not even sure of the percentages of the elements in it. It is one of their general fertilizers for outside plants. I dont think the starting seed mix has much food in it. It is a soil less mix. So I thought they could use some food to get off to a good start.

So...to spray or not to spray? Opinions? :?:

i would personally not spray for fungus unless you see it, but that's just me not wanting to do anything to the plants that is un needed

I feel the same way, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Its difficult to prevent an unknown or non problem. I agree don't spray.

I am in agreement with everyone else on "don't spray unless needed"...

I too will agree to be in agreement. Don't spray when there is no problem.
