Early Problem Child Removed on the Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ‘17
With the indoor plant, the intention is to swing for a home run so I am only getting three pitches. It looks like the first pitch is a strike.
The actual pumpkin looks great, but this split at the stem to vine juncture is concerning. It did dry, but when additional splits were noticed on the underside of the stem the difficult decision to remove the pumpkin was made. The vertical split was foaming each morning despite a fan on it 24 hours, would likely bring future problems.
This pumpkin was removed when it was 9 days old (pollinated on June 7th @ 21ft. out) as the cracking started developing on day 7 and seemed to be progressively getting worse at an accelerated rate.
*Note: This was the pumpkin pollinated with Ron’s 1911 so making the cut was extra hard.
