Blossom End Rot in my SWC buckets help please

ElectraJim · July 7, 2012

BER is really messing with my tomatoes this year. I have great growth, plenty of tomatoes, but they are getting blossom end rot before they have a chance to turn red...or pink...or yellow..

Anyway, we have had a few weeks of temps in the 100's. Yesterday at 107F.

My question is, is there anything I can do to stop, slow down, or prevent this from continuing, or is the damage already done?

I grow in a primary mix of Promix, pine bark, (and other stuff) and I added lawn lime to my soil mix to start with. I grow in 5 gallon buckets SWC design...

Is the BER caused by the excessive temps?

Thanks,
ElectraJim
