Not a stellar day at our patch!
First I find this stem split on my 681 Gansert which extends into the fruit.
I checked with a straw & it does not as yet extend into the pumpkin cavity.
I blew some Sulfur powder into it & then daubed a Captan-Daconil paste at the edges. I didn’t try to fill this crack with my paste. I already had a fan at the stem but I redirected it to blow more directly upon this defect. Should I try to fill it? Fruit is 33DAP, been growing at around 15 pounds/day.
Then we measure my 28DAP 2152 Gantner & find that it appears to have quit growing.
Thankfully we have a spare that actually has been growing faster than the original fruit. Will check growth again for the next 2 days before making the decision to cull.
