Oh crabs . 7 days 9 or 10 inches on the 6.23 konieczny could have been a good one ! Watching this get bigger through the day , lucky for me I left a smaller mega on top before I topped it . I didn’t trust it ! Should I just cull it ? Or keep a eye on it ? I knew I asked that calcium question For a reason I should have started my cal mag regiment sooner ! But I did today that’s for sure , have to be more careful with my watering also , god I miss the ground containers are really tough . Pics be up soon , any thoughts appreciated . Thanks

I give a drench of 1 gallon of Cal Mag + per week when conditions seem right for BER. That is for plants in raised beds which drain well, you might want to use less.
If I see the earliest sign of BER, I spray the fruit with Calcium nitrate.
You can use Calcium chloride also, Bonide has a commercially available spray.
