Lost half the main vines and stump on 2 of my plants a couple days apart on my 1413 Werner and 985 Werner.
The main vine at the center of both plants was like mush, weird thing about this is that the roots where still real healthy looking and white. And the disease seemed it started from the middle of the vine and worked itself back to the stump because the main vines in the middle of the plants was completely gone, just like putting a knife into butter. The stumps wasn't that bad but they was still starting to rot also. I'm pretty sure it isnt Fusarium and Im guessing what I have is Yellow Vine Disease.
I did end up saving half my plants though by cutting out the bad spots, and surprisingly I'm still getting great gains from the 985 Werner plant, its growing like it had a stump still, but I dont think this will last for long, just not enough plant and roots behind the pumpkin. My 1413 has slowed considerably after taking all the bad spots out, but thats how I figured something was wrong with this plant when I only seen a small gain of weigh over a few days, which made me investigate and find this shitty disease.
I'm thinking my season is pretty much over now, but its going to be fun to grow these pumpkins out to see where they end up at the end of the season.
