Anybody have a cure for this.
Only two or three leaves seem to be affected by the sun
They are in a row and close to the end of the main
the main is about 8 feet long
These three leaves are about at the 6 foot mark
The rest of the plant is fine
no sign of bug entry points
leaves perk up when it gets dark
Tried misting every hour. no luck
tried folding table shade no luck
tried more water no luck
Whatever I try these same three leaves keep wilting
Any suggestions?

I would just double check that area of the main very good to confirm no entry points of svbs. if there are no entry points I would not be to concerned. A lot of times on hot sunny days young plants will flag and this is normal. The younger leaves are usually the ones effected the most. Once the plant gets more roots in the dirt, you should be ok.

Good luck
