Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (Pollination #3)
With stem splitting seeming to be an issue with my indoor pumpkins I have chosen to be preventative with this third pollination and take the time to carefully roll the vine and block it up shortly after pollination.
There is a fan running and the 2x4 pieces of wood and pool noodle are both being used to help position the vine.
Under the pumpkin is a pile of sand to help ensure the pumpkin comes into contact with some support soon to reduce the stress on the vine to hopefully prevent splitting that I have seen on the other pollinations.
There is also a small piece of mil fabric under this pumpkin to again provide some early protection and also give the sand a little base.
