Of 36 plants, 33 indeterminates, the 3 determinates (EMChampion/Marglobe/Champion II) were the only plants not to make it till season end. All plants were in 15 gal fabric pots, watered and fed exactly alike. All succumbed to a mold or bacteria of some kind. It was quick and fatal, but had the same thing on two GWR indeterminates and was able to cut out affected branches and the plants keep producing.
The irony was I'd planted the determinates as the sure thing back-up in case the idea of big indeterminates in bags was a flop.

Lol you have blown a big hole in my plans for success next year. Hybrids apparently are not tough and durable. Maybe AK Mark has it right.....no determinates.
