I am having a recent issue with the leafs on both plants. Posted some pics in the journal for help. This hit about 15 leafs between the two plants. most was on new growth but did not get any growth tips. oddly this happened 3 days after I sprayed Eagle, Subdue, menace mix. Not sure this was the cause because i sprayed another patch and not issues. Thanks.

Looks like sunburn to me...

I agree. It looks like sunburn to me. We've have lots of it over the years. Some plants just can't stand the days of high temps & high UV. The burning should stop once the leaf has had a chance to root.
Until then strips of shade cloth will help keep the leaves near the growing tips from burning. We have used 4' x 12' strips of shade cloth on the growing tips of our pumpkins in the past. It works great if your plant sunburns easily & you are expecting several days of high heat & UV.
Good luck.
