Hi,
    
   My plant last year had the same problem when it got hot. One of the
growers told me it was do to the plant reserving water in the leaves
during high heat times. Spraying them off during this time helps
temporaily as it cools them down. As the leaves got older this problem
went away and was confined only to younger leaves. This was my
experience anyway.
I am having a problem with a slight yellowing of the leaves, a few
anyway,  witch would suggest a nitro. deficiency. The leaves are bigger
then I have ever had this early (20in,sq) and the main vine growes at
least 6" per day. I have in the area 10 yrds. of manure 3 mushroom
compost and 2 leaf compost plus fertilizers. Can anyone tell me if this
sounds like nitro. problem or possibly somethings else? The plant about
35 days old.
     
 Thanks, Joe , Logan  OH
