Here's an update on Trixie - the stem oozing continues and I discovered another spot on the underside of the stem. I'm still not sure if it's a normal situation caused by too much water in the ground or an infection of some kind, so I will continue to use my salt water technique for one more day before I try to get it to dry out and heal over. There has definitely been a couple of spots on secondary vines (mostly at the cut end where they were terminated) that were getting slightly mushy so I definitely need to play it safe with the fruit stem. Despite the stem issues, my measurements last night put the circ. at 97.5 inches and the OTT at 239.5 for an est. 298 lbs. That's a 52 pound gain in 2 days. Yesssssss!
