Anybody know why my leaves are dying? They get powderery and fall off. Still flowering (though will cut do it focuses on leave growth). Am I over watering?

Or powdery mildew??

It looks like mildew to me. A fungicide should do the trick. I had mildew on a batch of plants I rescued, and I treated them once a week with fungicide for three weeks. It cleared everything up nicely. There are probably organic treatments as well, but I went in heavy duty because the plants didn’t have much longer.

I would try a milk spray, 2:1 ratio of water to milk. I use whole milk. It’s great for powdery mildew.

Thanks! I’ll try that next. I tried backing soda with a tiny bit of soap yesterday
