Survivor got another stem split, just opposite the first one. Day 47 estimated weight is 636#. We have been getting some heavy rains but they last only a few minutes and are gone. The stem was full of water, so I soaked it up with paper towels and added more sulfur. I put temporary patches of caulk over them and re-set my cover. It is supposed to rain every day through Saturday. Once we get dry weather, the tarp comes off to get sun and the fan goes back on. Once it is good and dry I will clean off all the sulfur so I can get a caulk seal, pain the inside with Daconil, dry it again and caulk it. Then hope and pray for the best. If I can keep it going it has a chance to make a personal best, if it doesn't go light.
I used my pumpkin tape to measure my snake gourd to see how long it would be if it was straight. 106" and still growing. To bad the vine grew over the top of the trellis and back down to within 4' of the ground before setting the gourd.
