Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop leaf drop after periods of high heat & humidity?
We recently had temps in the high 90s & dew points in the 80s-heat index 109 degrees!
I try to wet the ground  & growing area with cold tap water & mist with a fogger nozzle but I was out of town & when I got home Sunday night several plants had leaves turning yellow at the leaf/ramicaul juncture & were falling off Mon. morning.
How can I stop the spread? fungicide? cinnamon? move to Ecuador?
Welcome everyone & thank you guys!
