Help me, This is my first year to grow im gorwing big max and i planted late im in the process of pollinating but along with the bee's came the bugs so i carefully put a little seven dust on the few leaves that looked kind bad and gave a light dusting of the otheres, was careful not to get the blooms the bees are still out there working. I trimed some dead leaves to i look outside 3 hours later and my main vine that has a good one started on it all the the leave at least 90% are wilted i washed off the seven dust and water it is it gonna die now or was is it doing it a hot day here to. if anybody know reply back thanks ...

I think that it is just the hot weather that caused them to wilt. That happens to my plant some and it just pops right back to normal.

Yeh, 91 is enough to give them a bit of a start if you know what I mean. Water it well and things will be fine this evening. If you have a camera start a diary so we san see what is going on and cheer you along. Good luck.
