here is a pic showing the main vine blocking i have around Clegg's main vine at the stem area on the 991 urera. at this point i have 1" styrofome between the vine and the pumpkin on day 30 and that gap has been closing steadily. with a lot of play in the vine, the pumpkin will slowly push the loose vine over till it becomes taught. at that point i will replace the 1" stryofome pieces with thinner spongy foam. the stacked blocks supporting the main has it nice and loose and out of the way of the lower quarter shoulders that will become blobby and fat as this thing grows. this is the best i have felt about it in the past 2 days. i am just trying to prepare for what could possibly be 500 pounds of growth in the next 15 days
