   Hi

I have 6 plants:
                        #1-1006Greer at 575 lbs and growing about an
inch a day.  Stim Problems.
                        #2-1061Zehr at 480 lbs and growing about 2.5
inches a day.Blossem end problem.
                        #3-917Zehr at 400 lbs and growing at 2 inches a
day. Lots of small cracks.
                        #4-897McIntyre 410 lbs and growing at 2.5 inches
a day.
                        #5-449Marcelles 450 lbs and growing at .5 inches
a day.
                        #6-556Unknown 520 and growing at 1 inch a day.
Stim problem

I'm using Captan and doing everything I can to treat these infections.
With a month left to go I feel sure
I'll lose 1 or 2.  I put a small Fan blowing on the stim of the
1006Greer.  This seems to help.  Fingers are
crossed.  Blossem end on the 1061Zehr looks serious.  More crossed
fingers.
Any suggestions on how to handle these rotting stims.  Has anyone ever
tried peroxide on a stim?
