Starting about a month ago, my plants' leaves were curling. I added ferts, epsom, calmag back then. I water daily, once at 6am and once at 8pm for 5 minutes using a automated drip system on my raised bed. The weather also has been over 100's past few weeks too.
After the wind storm past few days, they got a pretty bad beating. I added epsom salts by sprinkling the soil. I also changed the time length of watering to 3 mins at 6am and 8pm.
Looking at them after work today, they are loosing TONS of leaves. The leaves are becoming yellow and frail, and as soon as i touch them they fall off. Its horrible.
Am i just over watering them, or over fertilizing? Too much epsom? Even if i loose so many leaves, will i have pods? I was waiting for the weather to cool down to start getting lots of pods. Now i'm afraid i won't. Will this leaf loss affect the core plant. I am planning to overwinter them.
