Fungicide for veg

Growing toms & cucumbers etc in a conservatory type building. Toms ok but never grown cucumbers before.
I have some mould formed on the lower leaves and have only found 1 fungicide that is specifically for fruit and veg, although it does not mention cucumbers on the label.
I have removed the lower leaves but with this constant wet weather I don't think this is the end of the matter. Double doors are open all day and vents at might. Any suggestions please.
Also my cultivation methods are probably wrong. In the past I have always grown tomatoes on a bed of wet gravel, the old way with ring pots. I have done the same this year and also tried it 50/50 with the cucumbers, no conclusion if thats the issue as there are several different varieties and not all, or even all on gravel, are affected.
Anyone help?
