Just a heads up. Your photos did not appear. Note the Go Advanced button on the bottom. Check Attachments to get the photos up. Wish I could see them. I'm doing a free standing bucket in a similar situation to yours. No drip as it's real hard to carry water. I use a bucket with a small reservoir at the bottom. I just gave it some leave mulch to control the moisture in the summer heat. Drip is a nice idea and I have rigged one in the past but it's just too much stuff in one spot. Wondered what people were doing over there.

I get some results with the kelp juice. Mix it for foliar feeding and spray in the evening. Wet the mulch under it too. That sun's a bitch when it's a 100 degree.

This is the stuff I've been using. Use as directed with a mister. Apply in the evening and mist leaves. Squirt some around the mulch on the bottom too. It really seems to give the plants a pick up in the heat. I use only for vegetation and would use sparingly on a bud if at all. There is of course no need to foliar water if it rains. When using inside under light only spray after lights out. They ship it but it might take a while to get there. I would try a local outlet selling nutes and see if they might have something similar. It's great stuff and love that price.

I'm not up on all the stuff that a leaf may be infected with. I would suggest a magnifying glass and look at it. There may be an insect causing problems. Then consult a local library for gardening info to determine the exact cause.

Looks like some sort of insect damage. When growing outdoors it's not uncommon. Usually they hit the pan leaves. The plants grow enough to get past them. I'm not up on insecticide and have never used it.

Just keep using the Kelp juice in the evening. Doesn't need it everyday. Mist enough to cover leaves and that's it. It just rolls off after that and is wasted.

I hear you talking about those temps. We're getting a bit of rain this week but next week it's right back to the 100's. That's what really takes it out of them.
