Watering system installed and tested. Start watering through drip tomorrow.
Adjusted the misters to kick on for 1 min every 10 mins from noon to 4pm. Leaves barely get damp in a minute and are dry in 3 mins after it cuts off. We have a thermometer under the canopy and it hit 92 today, misters are cooling under the canopy 4 degrees at this rate, but were getting too wet if we increase the time on or decrease the time off. Above the canopy feels much cooler to my skin while it is running, and most importantly, the leaves stopped flagging.
