And here is some of yesterday's heat wilt on the 505 main. This is my largest plant and the combo of hot dry weather yesterday along with the growth stage of the plant was just a little too much for it. Right now the plants are exploding with growth in every direction and there just isn't enough root mass yet to keep up with the plant's water needs. Set up soaker hoses yesterday and the 505 got watered for 60 minutes, the 1142 for 50 minutes and the 610 for 40 minutes. Hopefully they'll be good to go for a few days at least.
