Re: So. Cal. Growers


Keith.......

You need to keep your plants cool during the heat of the day.  Overhead
micro sprinklers or misters on a timer that cycles on for 10-15 minutes
every hour (5 minutes every 20 is better) are one way to do the job.
Under leaf watering is another, albeit, higher tech solution (Chris Gregory
or Kevin Smith can fill you in on that method).  Some folks use shade
cloth, however, this won't work if you're getting up into the mid to high
90s every day.

Good luck

      All nice pumkin growers of the world

     Im experiencing leaf damage that appears to be leaf burn. The leaves
are partially shriviling and dieing not the entire leaf but like 1/3 to
half
of the leaf.    My plant is normally wilting durring the day rebounding at
night is that normal.   Its been in the 90,s here of late.  Please help
i need some advice before my one and only good plant goes up in
smoke......thanks   Keith Reh
