Help-plant looks healthy, males are still opening but new growth from the last 4 or 5 days is light green and all pumpkins even tiny ones have turned brown and died. As of yesterday plant growth has stopped. No wilt, no patterns, plenty of npk. Email me with ideas if you have any.

Harvest day! Picked my 1124 clementz x 1236 stowers on sunday. Successful loadup on the truck to be ready for the weighoff next saturday. Im guess it lost quite a bit over the last 2 months of sitting with no growth. Taped 323 ott but based on the tractors reaction i don't guess it is above 650 pounds. But a huge surprise that it lasted this long and will actually make the first weighoff!
