I just put my girls out and the night before I sprayed a plant with pure spray green as a test. I sprayed about 10 plants. The one I put out in extreme temperatures and transplanted today is totally dead and cooked brown. I followed directions on the purespray green, what ever im going back to neem although the purespray green killed the mites.

Its the extreme temperatures not the spray.

Should I use 25% of the normal amount until the plant gets used to the extreme temperatures?

Obviously I sprayed at 5am and allowed to dry,

Can I spray with neem at 5 am and wash off at 8am?

It hits 100+ every day now in norcal.

I want to add that the neem also has cooked some plants even with half the dose of neem.

25%?
Wash it off after spraying?

You know the look where it strips out the bottom leafs and burns them and takes weeks to come back to life.

its 95 right now at 6pm!

Use organicide!
Also do it as the sun is going down. You could also do it a little less than what your directions tell you to start. One a week or farther apart.

Make sure you ph the water after adding. 5.5 could be a relaxing thought.

Organicide supposedly has funky results when it comes to bud taste, just what I've read no personal experience with the product. The last thing you want to do is spray your plants at all if you have extreme temps, wait till dusk so they have overnight to dry. Each water droplet is a potential magnifying glass causing burn spots all over the plant, that on top of a new transplant already being susceptible to sun scald and high temperatures is probably what killed your plant.

So wait until the sun isnt hitting the plant to spray, its healthier for the plant and also makes the spray more effective as some components can be broken down by sunlight. Also when transplanting try to wait for an overcast day and water in with a MILD bloom solution as the phosphorous helps the plant to put out new root growth. Good luck post any other questions you have

What I did was spray at night. I was worried about the residual oils left over and transplant shock and the sudden freak hot sun during fresh transplanting. I sprayed at half the dose and before transplanting I put them under an oak tree to get half sun.

One plant died for sure, although she was sickly any way.

Today at 6 to 7 am I sprayed water to get any residual oils off the leaf.

Question is I had a fine morning due on the plants around 7 am (Sun coming up but not HOT)
I did shake the water off for about half an hour.

Why does morning due not burn plants?

There was some casualties but I have backups.

Anything spayed on your plants with in the last 3 weeks will make your bud taste funky!!!
So up until that point spray away, but dont go over board. Let that shit dry and you will have a nice waxy protective coating.
 
i had the same prob i used half dose and washed them off the next day.still had alil burn .i def would agree 25% in the 100 + temps....the sun in north cali is intense...
