Happened on both my plants last year.....same day. Both were shaded with chairs daily. I think the hot soil did it.

Lost my 1256 Platte to the heat but it wasn't protected at all. All others are doing fine but I'm putting tons (Literally) of water on them.

Lost the main on 2 plants, even under shade during the 2 days we hit 110 heat index. Fortunately, I have side vines that are not terminated to make up the space.
