And I agree with this 100%...I also do not think your problem is fungal from what you have described to this point...Testing the soil and plant tissue is the only way you can be certain...The 'garlic' mixture or any other fungicide is NOT selective...It not only attacks the harmful fungi and insects, but also the benefical ones...
