Keeper? (Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 Pollination #3)

Here is the third pollination that is 6 days old and may end-up being my keeper even though it is 31ft out on the main vine. The clothespin is for size comparison to the next posted image, but what I like about this pumpkin is there is currently no stem splitting.

The previous two pollinations all seemed to develop early (prior to day 8) splits, so if this one remains split free for the next two days I am going to make this my keeper despite the feet out on the main. Having a problem free pumpkin early can allow it to handle the rapid growth phase which is where issues normally will start to show.
