This is my first time growing PF, I have a fredericks and it has been growing great, setting scores of fruit when suddenly blossoms are falling off a day or 2 after hand pollination. It was putting out about 7-15 blooms each day when I gave it some bloom boosting nutes. The fruit already set grew larger very quickly and about five days later I had 2 days of 23 then 43 blossoms. That was about 2 weeks ago, it has few blooms the past week and none for 2 days now. Our temps have backed down into 80's instead of the 90's. They were under 20% shade in the higher temps but I left it off for the last couple of days, they look fine don't know if that shocked it a little. Many of the very small blooms are yellowing and stopped developing. There are well over 50 nice fruit developing and I don't know if it has a limit to production. It is planted in good soil and I gave it a mild drink of fish emulsion last night. I was watering every other day in the heat and just started to wonder if I need to back down on the water a little when its under 90F.
Thanks for any help
