BER - now what?

elight · June 27, 2012

Of my four tomato plants, one - a Jet Star - has developed blossom end rot on 5 of its 8 fruit thus far. This is my first time dealing with BER, so any help is appreciated.

Should I cut off the fruit with BER so that they don't sap resources from the rest of the plant?

Is there anything I can do from this point forward to avoid more BER? I did add lime to the potting mix, and all of my plants are using the same exact mix. All are in SWCs fed by an automatic watering system, so the moisture level should be relatively constant.
