I planted out a few French beans a couple of weeks ago, all had been doing well in the growhouse.
all was fine, even though temperatures are only around 5 degrees at night and about 12-15 during the day.
Anyway I watered them the other evening with seaweed, it may have been a touch too strong, not diluted enough. Those that possibly took a little more of the watering have now wilted, whereas others which were also watered in the same way are absolutely fine.
Anyone else had problems? Could it be the seaweed? Or the evening watering leaving them open to catching a chill? If so why is it only some of them that seem to have been affected?

Can't answer the why, but it seems a little cool yet for beans. Nights of low 40sF and daytime highs of 59F is a little risky for green beans. Maybe switching to morning watering would help.
There is not much to the sea weed fertilizer being 0-0-1. I would do the combo Fish and kelp. 2-2-3. Hydrolyzed would be my first choice.
