Ah poop, the Dill has slowed and is only putting on 4OTT, 1.75" CC and about 4lbs a day at 56lbs 24 DAP. All of that after a spectacular 83 degree day. I wouldn't be too concerned, but this thing already has deep ribs and looks 60 days old, ha. I shouldn't be surprised since its predecessor might have been a thirty pound pumpkin, but I haven't given up hope yet. It's also got some gnarly looking dill ring going on. Who gets a dill ring before day 25?! Time to pump up the 0-0-50! Even though the 1478 is a much smaller plant with all but one secondary stunted due to Fusarium and/or nutrient deficiency, I have faith it'll grow a bigger pumpkin.
