I have a big issue on my 1223.5 gansert plant. Last night I spotted some white oozing on the main vine. 3 feet behind the pumpkin I checked for a cut and i found nothing. I wiped the oozing away and my finger went right diwn into the vine! It was rotten a little but then I got to the green part. It is not completly down through the entire vine. I added sulfur to it last night and a fan. I came out this morning and saw that the sulfur had gotten all wet and thst the fan had done nothing. This is a strong fan to. There is no more white oozing but it's dropping the water in the vine like tapping a tree in the winter. This just won't stop! Keeps on coming! This needs to stop soon or my main will rot all the way. The vine was not burried In this spot because the pumpkin was lifting it up. I will update again when everything is finally under control or something bad again happens
