I have heard that to be very careful when the young'en is days old to stop doing what one has been doing, Agro-K program is really what Im on. I do it very methodically tops and bottoms at 6:30 7 PM. Leaves are a nice green but not some of the bluegreen blown out leaves I have seen. I do not spray molasses to the leaves but do drench. I have just started the Symbrew tea as its been brewing for 3 weeks longer that it should of. Should I just hold back for a week or just do more of the same.....Its gonna hit 105 Sat and Sun. I did have 3 hand pollinate abort due to the heat and I did use ice and shade. I did have a Reiss pollinate and triple in size when the temps dipped to 85 2 days in a row.

That's a lot, of heat. Think early AM and think watering down the tea, to light almost transparent tea and go early followed, by half strength AGRO-K and then overhead watering, to rinse the leaves an hour later after the foliars have dried, on the leaves.

Get your applications in and done before the sun gets high enough, to be really hot. I am wetting my leaves with water five minutes of each half hour between ten AM and 4PM. That is cooling my plant enough here in the Northeast. It prevents 99% of all flagging.

I do not like products like Wiltproof but I know guys that are using it, to help stop evaporation, from the plant. There has been little talk, on this method, of moisture management.
