Is there one? Past few days the temperature has remained in the lower to mid eighties until 8 P.M. and my leaves never seem to dry out before dark if sprayed after then. Thanks in advance!

Two hours before dark, they will dry by then then. I use Tom's soluable kelp, and have sprayed at well over 90F, but... sun angle was lower and worst heat of day was through. Here we should be in next timezone so high noon is about 1:45 pm, and we are at our worst baking about 5pm, dark is about 9 right now... I spray around 7-7:30 pm.

Hope that helps.

I never foliar feed fert, but I do a feed a few other things. So I never look at temp it's self but humidty also. I never spray anything if I can add my air temp to my humidty and it is over 151.
