One of these articles mentioned leaves getting in the bag..that person must have bagged the spur with the apple. I tried not to do that, I carefully wrapped the twist tie around the stem with a little slack forgrowth of the stem.

 

They both used non-clear bags..there must be a reason why more studies aren't usign clear bags...the overheating issue seems to be the leading culprit.
