For the past 3 days and the next 10 days are temps are going to be in the low to high 90's I am really needing to spray the plants (I was out for about a week helping my wife have a baby), I am starting to see more and more cuc's every day but I am afraid I will burn the plants if I spray in the morning, however at the present time the mornig is the only time I can spray Any suggestions? Thanks!

Late in the day after sun down at half strength. Sevin burns like hell. Try Garlic Barrier = less damaging to your leafs

Can you get someone else to spray in the evening?

Tremor, I dont have anyone else to help out, what if i sprayed half strength at 5am? I used Sevin last year with out complications and have used it twice this year when it was cooler out? Thanks everyone!

As long as the spray is completely dry before the sun comes up. Half strength twice a couple days apart is a decent compromise.

You know what they say "Spray Sevin in the Morning, Grower take Warning, Spray Sevin at night and you will sleep tight"
