This is not good. I cut the leaf off the top, the secondary off the side, and that tendril is now gone as well. After I took this picture, I went to Lowe's and bought sulphur dust. Then, I took a melon baller and scraped as much goo out as I could and dusted it well with sulphur. This giant, rotting wound on top isn't the whole problem. There is also a stem split on the left side in this picture ( though you can't see it). The split is pretty bad and is getting worse. Also, this plant wilts like a little you know what in heat. I have no idea how it still puts on inches every day. I think the OTT today, 17 DAP, is about 172. Not too shabby. Too bad he's not long for this world. I'm curious how big it will get before the stem rots off. Lots of rookie mistakes for this rookie.
