just one thing Sven, if you can hold on for another 10-12hrs, dont buy thiram, as it is known to "feed" a certain bacteria. Two ways to determine if the bacteria is present is to A: Smell the rotting/black crown or leaves, and if it smells PUTRID, theres your problem. B: cut away one pbulb at the RHIZOME and if there are little black dots throogh it, again, thats it. I have a meeting tonight, so i will ask WHAT the bacteria is called, and HOW to treat it
