I read on here to spray fungicides under the leaves because that is where powdery mildew starts. Do we spray the fungicide on top of the leaves also or only on the underside ?
When spraying a foliar feed, do I only spray the tops, or the top and bottoms of the leaves.

Both sdes on both...powdery mildew starts underneath the canopy of the plant cause it will be shaded...the stomata (sic) are abundant under te leaf and will absorb the fertilizers...try to do it so they will be dry before sundown..it's a slim edge between promoting PM with wet leaves and feeding he plant...GrowEmBig!
