took advantage since the heat broke to get back on track. a nice fungicide insecticide combo immediately sunday night when cool enough. last night i drenched and hit a half dose of 3 18 18 with fulvic. a sunny warm day early and a nice cloudy day later and the plants are in full recovery from the heat stress last week. all leaves standing tall tonight with no misting or watering needed for a change. next year i will make sure to suppliment the lack of nutrients being uptook in wetter heavy misted soils and heat waves where misting is required. the plants responded so quickly from last nights drench and foliar it is amazing. my fear was adding ferts in the heat with too rapid develo0pment of pumpkins. i now think supplimental nutrients in a heat wave make sense to help the plant deal with the stress. and if too hot for foliar, then i will makeb sure to drench in a heat wave and not worry about blowing up kins, but making sureb the plant can handle the stress betterany way possible. tough call...been rolling it through the noggin while waiting for stomata to open and give the neighbors with windows open the sound of the stihl fogger at twiligt. lol.
