Some more opportunities to learn...
Beast has stopped growing. There has been some clear water dripping from the stem off and on for the last 6 days. Put fans on it and treated with peroxide and captan. Found a soft spot on the stem way up next to where the vine connects yesterday. Removed the bad tissue. Went all the way to the hollow of the stem. Split the stem on the bottom to get some air flow and be able to treat the inside of the stem. Today there was some more soft stuff. Cut it out and ended up cutting about a 1/4 of the stem away. The inside of the remaining part of the stem had some soft brown tissue. Scraped it out with a spoon down to good tissue. Sprayed with 6% peroxide until it quit foaming. (once every 15 minutes for 2 hours). Dried with a clean cloth and powdered with captan. Put fans back on it. Built a cover over it because there is a chance of rain tomorrrow and I want to keep the fans and it as dry as possible. Will spray it and retreat with captan in the morning and see where I'm at tomorrow after work. Was after dark when I finished. Will take a picture tomorrow and post.
