Have been really busy with work so the leaves have suffered from neglect.   Sunday, June 25 View Page Found this hole on the main vine yesterday. I dusted with sulfur and had a fan on it all night. It is still hard and none of it is soft. Should I turn the secondary before it and make that my new main vine or should it be ok if I keep it dry and dusted   Tuesday, July 11 View Page Found this crack today on the one I wanted as my keeper on the main. I sulfured the crack and wrapped it with rubber wire used for tying plants to stakes to keep the crack from opening more. If I keep it dry would the pumpkin be fine or should I use a different one on a secondary.   Saturday, July 29 View Page I need advice on which kin you guys would keep and which one to cull. The stump started under the clear plastic canopy running to the blue tarp canopy. Under the blue canopy is option A. Which is the larger kin that is on DAP 21. This kin is growing off of a tiny secondary vine and the stem is small and is only gaining 10-12lbs a day and the blossom end is starting to sink in. The other kin (option B) is towards the bottom of the picture at the end of a thick secondary which is on DAP 11 the shape is elongated more like a football but the stem is already thicker than the bigger kin's stem. Which kin would you guys keep and which one to cut.   Saturday, July 29 View Page Missing First picture of plant   Saturday, July 29 View Page Missing First picture of plant   Saturday, July 29 View Page Option A vine and stem pic   Saturday, July 29 View Page Option B kin   Wednesday, August 23 View Page this crack is only about a 1/4" deep.
