No, you don't want to water in the heat of the day..
Sun rays get magnified by the water and burn leaves...
We always water in the mornings but with those temps we watered again after sunset..
At 3:00 -- 109F.... At 8:00 -- 68F... The fog moved in!!

Lol ya those lazer beams burn up all the plants on earth everytime it rains! Hahaha.
Lol. Water isnt going to make magic lazer beams and burn your plants. I've grown outdoors for many years and have yet to see a plant go up in flames from waterdroplets.

Cloudy when it rains then it's sunny again. I've seen it rain and be sunny at the same time. Lol. Water droplets don't burn plants ;)
I do agree with you adding cold water to the plant on a hot day could shock it. So best to water in am and in eve. But if the plant needs water then water it.

My canopy will hit 105 and consistently runs over 100 until October. My plants don't look like that. I'm with @Herb & Suds it looks like too much Potassium in the first picture. The other burn I've never seen before but it doesn't look like heat burn.

You know I'm not sure. If you read that it says smooth plant leaves won't burn but plant leaves with hairs might. I think about Cannabis and it's sessile trichomes and I wonder. So for me I simply don't know. It's a definite maybe in my book! Worse cannabis that's smoother might not and those with tons of hair and trichomes could.
