well, 2 weeks since last post, and things ain't so bad. it's going to be tough to get another 102-lbs. out of this thing the remaining season. its not over yet. its at 400-lbs. today. i had it covered the last 5 days with two fitted sheets, a blanket, and a tarp, allowing a little air flow at the bottom, as i was unable to disrobe it somewhat, during the daytime sunshine. it's averaged 6-lbs. a night for the last 5 nights. i'm posting other pics for a better look at the pnkin. one question i am going ask in general discussion is, with my limited plant, now less than 100 leaves, this late in the season, do i cut the main just past the pnkin, to squeeze out some growth, or is that more harm than good.
