Ceestyle, I'm directing this towards you because I think I've got a heat issue that may be contributing to some woes. West-southwest exposure, 2,800' elevation, 38.4N lat (approximately), hitting temps well over 90F on some days. Plants leaves have been curling in a v-cup shape DOWNWARDS, not upwards as I see in most heat/transpiration issues.
I have taken pix, but Dave has the card, somewhere, and I took more with a camera that had no card, so, no new pix. I have placed some OSB boards across one shelving unit that allows the plants full sun (unobstructed on the upper level, through the deck railing on the lower level, see my gallery for an idea) from approximately 2:15pm til just about sunset. I'd like to try using some shade cloth, I was thinking 10% shade cloth, to just give 'em a break. I could do that, or I could built a screen of sorts that mimics what they get through the deck railing (however, that protection seems to be minimal at best).
Whaddaya think?
