Naysen,

Something funky must be going on if you haven't had a new fruitset in 2 weeks. Are you measuring any vertical growth in the plants week to week?

I've gone back and looked at my fully dropped blossom tally, and one came off of the Sophie's Choice, and the other one severed itself from the Stakeless plant. That is all I've lost - and I look really hard at the aluminum foil to try to find any dropped blossoms daily.

Our setups aren't really much different in terms of our Grow Media, Actinovate / myco treatment, etc. I am not (yet) adding any Grow Big or Tiger Bloom, as the plants seem to be developing fine without an additional fertilizer boost.

My "hunch" is that your excessive blossom drop could be due to some over-fertilization - but that is highly speculative on my part. It will be interesting when my Rosella Purple plants start to flower, then we will have identical plants to compare fruitset, etc.
