What is everyone's opinion on fertilizing in 105 degree heat? I have been on a weekly fertilization schedule since i started my plant. However, one of my new pollination's on day 8 blew up not aborted actually split all over from what i can tell is too much growth too fast in the heat.

Do you think i should continue the fert program i've been on in this heat or should i just water the plant and wait for the heat to get back to normal?

fertilize by the square foot. water until moist at the 6 inch deep level. higher temps and no rain will require more water but not more fertilizer.
