If all you did was burn a few leaves it wasn't way too strong. Just cut back a half ounce and it should be perfect.

I used Serenade for two years and had the worst foliage diseases ever those two years of trying to go totally organic. It was just totally incapable of controlling the foliage diseases down here. It might work up there where I am sure the disease pressure is far less.

Copper at the lower recommended dose is easy to use and I have seen no harmful affects from it even on the smallest seedlings. I use the Southern Ag brand of copper fungicide at the rate of one Tbs to the gallon along with a bit of Dawn as a spreader sticker.
