Not really any worse the last 4-5 leaves were drooping when I
got home around 6 91 degrees. I was just wondering if the rain might have made it grow a little to fast then drastic temp rise.The one in the pic grew a bunch last night it has me nervous.

Just curious, no wrong answer, etc. - Are you by any chance exaggerating any ferts, such as
Phosphorous or Nitrogen during or immediately after a rainy days' stretch?

don't stop the ferts
and see especially ***the very last one*, aptly titled as such.
I was pretty convinced that in '24, following my own advice would have been smart early-on!
Only once I did did things pick up for me and by then, it was only 221 and 225 pounds for me.
'25? Best year in 5 years! Take care and keep on pollin', lol---eric g

I did do 15 lb of 10-10-10 twice once mid rain and 2 weeks later same amount on 4500 feet that is under 15 units of each per acre. I have to use 250 units of nitrogen to make a sweet corn patch.
