Day 13! 49cc 113 OTT 39 pounds This day I had to leave for a wedding in Illinois so I left the plant and hydro system in the care of a friend of mine who did an excellent job at keeping her alive! One thing i was worried about though was that when I left, it rained and tripped the circuit so the system went without water for 24 hours. This i think set back the plant because on that hot day, the plant desperately tried to set down secondary roots and ended up pulling some water from the two pumpkins i had on the vine. ( had a second backup) Luckily, only the backup pumpkin seemed to take a hit and the main pumpkin was fine. I do think that this slowed down the overall growth because where i was putting on 5 and 6 inches in circumference a day and rising, I never got back to that.
