I have three pumpkins on. I have been playing it safe, they are each at about 50 lbs and look good. What can I do to get some weight on. I water almost every day and use 0-0-60 once a week. I also use Mir Grow once a week. I would like to see some good pound-age, not a winner just some good size and weight. Any helpful hints. (it is Aug in WI time is running out) Thanks

Pinch off all new tertiary vines to force all the nurtients to the pumpkins. Also deadhead all secondary vines. The 0-0-60 is great, but you might consider easing back on the Miracle Grow (15-30-15) because that encourages vine & root growth. This, of course, assumes that your plant is already large enough to support your pumpkins. Use the liquid seaweed as a foliar feed. --Bruiser
