               It's interesting that the article states that they don't know what causes it?  HuH?  In my experience it is completely obvious what causes it.  When was the last time you saw a big boy or better boy tomato that was catfaced?  It's all in the genetics  of the variety being grown. (pretty much all beefsteak types do it.)

               I can attest to the extreme temp fluctuation in my greenhouse. basically all of my plants have megas right now.

               almost a 60 degree variance from day to night right now while they are flowering.
