923 Gerhardt showing some signs of distress. Very strange. 4 of the leaves on the main vine back from the tip show some serious wilt and burn and the third leaf on almost every side vine, from the tips, shows some burning. I cannot contribute this to sun burn. There was a leaf near the tip of the main vine that was about 2 inches in diameter that has been completely destroyed. It could have been an over fertilization when I foliar feed both plants on June 12th or maybe it was the application of my insecticides and fungicides on the 14th. The strangest thing is that I applied the same amounts of fertilizer to both the 923 and 963 and same amounts of insec/fungic to both the 923 and 963 and yet the 963 shows hardly any signs of distress. I must also note that all other leaves on the 923 are perfectly healthy and have never shown any sign of wilting even during the hottest days.
