cucumber diseases help please

Hi guys,

I have noticed i have some white spots on my cucumber leaves (see pic) and now there are some starting to show on my other plants i have growing in my conservatory can anyone tell me what these are please and what i can do if anything to get rid of it??

Thanx for any help you can give

 

Looks like mildew.
Not sure what you can use on cues these days regarding fungicides.

Is the plant getting a bit dry at the roots perhaps, that can sometimes bring on the problem.

 

I don`t think there is any spray you can safely use on members of the cucurbit family. I would remove any affected leaves and hope for the best. Also improve ventilation.

 

Nimrod T, or a bit of Benlate.

But you cant get either now.

 

Cucurbits are so susceptible to " tainting " Pete, I wouldn`t reccomend anything.

 

I've read that a diluted solution of milk and water will stop mildew. It would be worth a try whether it works or not I guess....... At least it isn't toxic and it's cheap.

 

Thanks for the advice guys i might try the milk n water see what happens should i use skimmed milk i dont what them getting fat lol...

the plants are looking pretty good though i,ve got 5 cues nearly ready not that you can see them in the photo but last year i done the same thing and i got loads of cues off my plant i was well pleased as its my 1st time growing anything last year, this year i,ve got some squash plants, peppers,chillies,grapes and garlic on the go, never seen a squash plants flower before they look really nice.

heres some photos below

 

i posted some photos in this thread yesterday think they need to be modorated can someone tell me how long this takes please??
