So my first question, is it normal for the most mature leaves to start to crisp and turn color then die off, I would assume yes but at what rate? Next, the tips of most of my secondaries (the ones not terminated) have clusters of male flowers and most growth is at a hault, please diagnose and provide solutions. And last my plant just seems to be in poor health but fruit gains are good, nothing has changed besides the extreme heat, any ideas?

Not yellow (yet), but lighter in green then normal and just sickly almost looking. I figured maybe leeching of nutrients due to increased water to combat the 105-108° weather. I will go now and take two pics and upload to diary, one of mature old growth and one of new growth and hopefully we can diagnose and solve. Thanks any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Indeed will do, I think the dry area that you're referring to is the hard pack (dead lawn) where its grown out of its original allotted area. Thanks for all prompt post will get pic up of flower clusters

I agree with the WIZ. You have had some harsh 90 degree days!! Dry soil is tough on these girls. More water and more consistency each day.
