Well Booo my pumpkin shut down and stopped growing on day 25 it was 87" cir it's ott was 205". It was ramping up and on the last night it had gained over 25 pounds. We had a really hot day and I was at work when i had gotten home this plant was wilted pretty bad and I guess i should have set my timers to water just a bit more. The next day the gains basically stopped. I figured either the plant was just lining up or it had shut down the fruit. Lucky i had another great looking female pop the next day so i pollinated it hoping the big pumpkin would pick up. Well its been 6 days with zero growth and the blossom is turning orange. The backup looks good hope it sticks. The plant is very healthy except for some sun scald.
