Default Sunburn? Over-fertilization?
the leaves on a few of my plants are yellowing in a strange way. my pitogo in particular was hit hard. seems like sunburn (it's been in the 90s), but i also fertilized on thursday. i realized my bag of fertilizer got wet and compacted, so maybe i overdosed it. should i water to dilute?

I'd water well and try to wash the fertilizer down or out of the bed. If it's been there for a while, it's not sunburn.

It will recover, but it's not fun.

I think i would flush the soil, and start with a different fertilizer to be safe.

i'm using fruit fuel... i think i over did it. i added 1 tbsp per gal, but it was more compact so i think i ended up with more

If it was in crystalline form, and it was wet, it probably filled in the gaps between the crystals with liquid, so probably a big overdose.

I think the Fruit Fuel is great stuff from what I've heard feedback wise, probably just overfertilization. Try and flush like recommended and the banana should recover fine
