Sunburn on 2d old transplant

Will it survive? It was 91F yesterday and fair. The plants got some spray of fish emulsion in am. Should replant? Have plenty of extras.

Thanks

Yes. It should survive. It doesn't look too bad in the picture. If you are worried, you could rig up some shade, at least during the hottest part of the day. A watering can strategically placed, or something like that.

Agree with Linda but foliar sprays or sprays of any kind on newly transplanted plants only increases the stress and/or leaf damage to them. Wait to foliar spray until the plant has recovered from the transplanting - 7-10 days.

Thank you much

That plant is underfed also. After a few days give it a good dose of fertilizer.

Dave, hmm, interesting about this stress and leaf damage that newly transplanted plants get from foliar sprays ... totally not experience I am seeing. What I am seeing when roots are not able to do the job yet for one reason or other foliar sprays are far far more effective in delivering right things to the plant that any soil drench I used to do in the past. Plants just come alive after foliar spray drink. I use Neptune products and it takes less of it for foliar feed too than usual soil application.

Edweather nailed it, I think.
