[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5140855, member: 6230"] couple of other factors cause blossom end rot other than calcium defeciency. that is inconsistent moisture and high nitrogen fertilizer. you can put 100 pounds of calcium in there and it wouldnt make a bit of difference. non mulched containers will dry out quick and without consistent moisture the plant cant uptake enough calcium to the tomatoe. too much nitrogen and the plant grows too fast and no calcium reaches the tomatoe. it will also cause blossom drop. mulch the plants and keep watering consistent, early morning and use a fertilizer with high phosphorous and low nitrogen and pottassium after they are good size and start blooming somehing like 5-10-5 or 5-10-10 or you can go as high as 20 for the phosphorous.
