The 1400 Lopresti has been gaining a steady 18-20 pounds a day, and her estimated weight today was 252 pounds! During my daily "inspection" today, I noticed that she has started to develop a blossom end split. I cleaned up the "goo" that was coming out of it and put some Captan paste on it. I have not watered all week because the soil has been wet from the rain, and the only fertilizer I've done is a foliar spray of fish/seaweed and CalMag. I will hold off on all water and amendments until she starts to heal. I don't want my baby to explode! I will be doing some more research on blossom end splints, and I am open to other suggestions that you experts may have :).
