I’m sure my plants have adequate roots water but are definitely affected by many days of 90-95 heat and show heat stress by midday. Plants droop a little but don’t wilt like dying of thirst. Wondering if misting them with cold hose water for a few minutes would help or hurt them. Anyone ever do this and what happened to plants?

I’ve blasted plants midday with a hose but now i prefer shade and light foliar feed on these wicked hot days, tomatoes too.

Foliar feed is risky in sunlight, i agree, but in shade or after sundown hasn’t been a problem. Sun (heat) wilt and water wilt are two different factors, one won’t cure the other, either shade or water depending how heavy the plant feels.

Tomatoes need a solid 2" of water per week. I water mine at 5:30am EST once or twice a week and mulch em too.

My MJ Autos sitting outside in 3gal fabric pots haven't wilted yet in 90°+ days. I keep them watered too though. They get about a gallon or two per week per pot depending on rain.

If your plants are wilting mid day, they don't have enough water plain and simple. I know some strains prefer more or less sun but typically plants don't wilt if they have enough water to support themselves.

Those tubs aren’t as susceptible to heat as a five or ten gallon black bag which can easily reach 140° on a 90° day in direct sun.
