I can do that.I’m leaningtowards heat, black cloth on a 90° day reaches 140° easily. Try wrapping it with a light color towel or carpet remnant.
If you wait 5 - 6 days in this heat you may have a dead plant?OK, thanks for confirming that. I just don't know how to read these smart pots. Have heard they dry out wicked fast in the heat. I'll try waiting 5-6 days and have a look to see if she perks up.
You think 2 gallons is enough to water thoroughly?
No room in the garden. This is a bit of an experiment anyway in using smartpots.Looks too big for that pot. Any reason it cannot join its friends in the ground?

I thought you could grow a plant out for a season in a 7g smartpot and it wouldn't get rootbound--just only get so big. Is that not true?
I waight the pots first when dry and again after the runoff stops dripping to see how much water they hold and water at 40% usually does it for me . Happy farmingI usually go by how heavy the pot feels when I pick it up.....when they get lite, water
This looks like the best thing you could do. Plants will start to recover from drought quickly after a watering.If you find it looking welted again give it a half gallon and wait 10-15 mins. If she perks up you know it's under watered.
