I've used it all. I cut the stem open from the pumpkin out to the vine first. Then I pumped hydrogen peroxide into the cavity. Next was sulfur powder and a fan. That fan moves some air! Then it was day by day. The cavity was so deep I had to vacuum the residual hydrogen peroxide out of the bottom because it wouldn't drain. I bought one of those vacuum attachment reducer kits that is used for computer boards. I ended up with a long suction straw! I used peroxide 2-3 times over a week period. Now things are stabilized and I'll give it a 80% chance to making it to weigh off. Oh yah, the fruit flies were my tip something was wrong!
