Haha, seems weird right?


It's just vines, but yeah, I do most things at night during the summer.


Dust + heat create an environment for Pacific Spider Mite, which defoliate the "spine" of vines if they get out of hand, and anything applied to vines (even water) at temperatures above 95 degrees will burn green tissue - also causing defoliation.


Without the foliage to protect the berries from the Sun, you'll have raisins on the vine about two months earlier then you'd like.


There's a few other reasons but those are the main too. You can also do like a 4am-Noon type thing but it's not as good and I'm so not a morning person. So most of the time I fire up around 8pm and go to about 2am.
