When the secondary vine that "Mr. Fatass" is on first layed down to run, it developed a small split on top where it meets the main. It scarred over and was fine for a few weeks until last nite I just happened to look at it while spraying insecticide and noticed it had started to rot. I had gotten a half inch of rain in a breif downpour earlier in the day and I think thats when the rot started, because when I started scraping off the rot I found it was still mostly superficial. I packed the area full of sulfur and put a fan on it all night. I think I caught it just in time because today the area was firm and dry. I got lucky there. And luck is what I need, because the 7/4 pollination hasn't grown any for two days and it looks like Mr. Fatass will be my best shot, and keeping its vine attached to the rest of the plant is now a priority. It's skin is still shiny and its pushing sand so I will have to cross my fingers and try my best to keep it cool in this 90+ degree heat so it doesn't abort.
