Can be your mildew or a lot of other guys, fungal or bacterial infection can have similar symptoms, some are real hard to tell apart even if seeing them.

I always separate sickly looking seedlings, can't hurt. :wink:

As you don't specify I assume it's on top of leaves, likely to be fungal, so a treatment might help, if you so inclined, but if you don't know the agent , don't know, which fungicide to use, just a blind shot.

If it's only starting, removal of affected foliage can be just as effective or more so, also moving out of gh often recovers these sad looking plants. :wink:

thanks gobs, I had already isolated as suggested. moved to a cooler space and sprayed with a Bordeaux mixture- I think the variety may be possibly susceptible as its only these ones that show any symptoms, all the rest are fine.......

...am wondering if they have been over-watered and this variety is a bit more susceptable ?
