1009 fruit: DAY 40 Numbers CC: 117, 86, 78 OTT=281 or 472lbs
The growth on this fruit has slowed way down, ten day average is 14.7 lbs a day. This slow growth might be a good thing though, I am getting a lot of small splits by the base of the stem pumpkin junction (I have been keeping dry and hitting with a fungicide every few days)If i was growing double what i am growing they would prob be big splits... So when the warm nights come back we'll see if the growth picks back up, as for now looking good. Just a few days away from the 1/4 ton mark!
