I have already lost one of my sets to blossom end rot (BER). The rest of the winter I am not going to chance it. Rot stop has worked well for me in the past two years.But at $14 per bottle at the local garden store it is way too expensive. Rot stop is derived from calcium chloride. I can buy calcium chloride from a home brewing store locally. Mixed to the same TDS that same $14 bottle now costs pennies. I have 3 tomatoes set now..this is the oldest at 13 days. My monster dropped a few granules of pollen today.. It should be full opened before christmas.
