Major bummer .
This morning there was another foaming spot on the main of the 1306 closer to the base. I was hopng I could remove the basil crown and leave the first two secondaries but once I made the cut the foam was up in the area of those vines. I removed the first two secondaries, the one on the left side of the plant was 20' long with tertiary vining so I'm probably gonna lose some growth due to it's removal. Once the vine was removed I loaded it up with Captan fungicide.

After I removed the secondary I had a brain fart. Should have severed it and left it go, maybe got another small pumpkin off of it. It was very well rooted.
