my pumpkin has had slow gains for the last week or so. Last night it had no gains, none at all. I gave it some Jacks 20-20-20 a few days ago and Im steadily giving it fish, TKO and cal mag max. Is there anything else I could do to give it a little push??

Have you added any potash. If you did and it was at a heavy dose it could have locked the soil up. Ive done that in the past. This is just my opinion so its not gospel, I'd try to wait a few days and see what happens. If not much in the way of gains is made then i'd just start to let it all hang out! Throw the stuff on it and risk it....im almost at that point myself. Fruit is making less then favorable gains.

if it has not grown over the past week? its done growing. adding growth products now would only help the weeds grow.
keep it cool and shaded and she should make it till weigh-offs.

I havent added any potash, its still showing small gains. Weight gains for the last week have been 6-16-17-5-16-0- and 11 lbs last night. I just thought there might be something I could add to boost those numbers a bit.

Kennytheheat what do you mean when you say it will lock up the soil?
