Last week was HOT in CA and a couple of my plants turned very dark and some leaves(20%) began to 'canoe' and curl.
No signs of 'nutrient burn', just thin dark curling leaves.
Soil is a light clay with 20% wood chips/15% chicken manure, biweekly organic 1-1-1 fert since planting, 7 gallon fabric pots.
Three weeks ago I started applying 'Tiger Bloom(?)' which is a 2-8-3 fertilizer at 1/2 strength and only once a week, 2 applications so far.
My plants have begun to look better now that the weather has cooled, but it is 10 days since I last fertilized them.
Add to this the plants get the 'lost coast plant therapy' at half strength every 5 days due to spider mites.
Was the problem caused by the heat or the fertilizer, and how can I know if/when to add the Tiger bloom stuff back in?
How long should I wait?
Lousy photo but the two on the left are darker than those on the right.
TY in advance.
