Does anyone do this. I have had problems in the past with mush stems and was think of spraying some immunox on them as a precaution. Is this a dumb idea? Thanks, jeff

Jeff, all of the growers with sprayer, misters or blowers spray their stems if they want to or not, I dont think its the fungicide.

A friend of mine uses Soap Shield with Copper from Garden's Alive. Turns the stem all funky blue colors that can't ever be washed off entirely. I can't say that he has fewer stem problems but he does swear by the stuff.
