Im having a little wilting on the outer leaves of the vines ... seems to have started today ... it was 90°here not sure if its the heat or something else. It happened earlier on in the season to one or two leaves then cleared up .Any input would be great .

My plants also will wilt when it is super hot out I mist them about every hour with some cool water and when the sun goes down they perk right back up :)

I agree, many leaves wilt on the edges this time of the year around the solstice especially when not rooted at those individual nodes or just anchoring down (at least here in Mo). Also some plants will be just fine while another from different genetics 20 feet away will wilt at the same age in the same soil. This is all assuming a healthy plant. If leaves don't rebound in evening once the sun is gone you have a different issue.

Had wilt until I got shade cloth up but my plants are small so shading is easier. They are saying a stronger heat wave is heading this way next week but hopefully they are wrong.
