Keep foliage dry, especially during the mid day sun blasts and wait it out before adding anything. First 2 post had it right. Best of luck.

Just a guess...hndrx1477 said:
When do you take off the covers? Could perhaps moisture build up inside the covers over night then get burned onto the plants from the sun?
Just a guess from someone who doesnt use covers. Id ditch the covers(unless in the 30's) and leave them be for atleast a week, then peep the new growth. IMO
like i said earlier, its probably not ammonium then. id say ammonium toxicity is more common with folks who dabble in osmocote than anything organic. cheap CRF is known to dump urea and ammonia during very high temps(ask me how i know)hndrx1477 said:
just let them grow out for a while. that fish stuff you linked is very weak stuff, unless the soil you are using is stupid high in organic matter, its unlikely you ever over fertilized.
havent really been following the thread much so idk if this has been discussed yet, but phosphate is almost never a critical nutrient deficiency. plants need very little phosphate, and there is usually an overabundance even in non clay rich soils... sandy loam or what ever. even so called phosphate demanding crops rarely need huge amounts of phosphate.
i remember reading something like 3/4 tobacco farming operations were over applying phosphate and wasting tons of cash and raising potential runoff issues.
truth is shit just happens to plants some times. not every anomalous growth is a symptom of some critical problem. you need to wait for the problem to become generalized over the whole plant. before you can make any real determinations.
