Remember 4 months ago when my 1223,5 Rotted Estimated at 1275 pounds? I have thought about it and I may have the answer. Never can be guaranteed but I have a possible answer of what happened. So there was a soft area in the vine behind the pumpkin. A SVB dug in and caused it to get really soft. I remover pressing my finger in it and my finger went down. It was all rot in there and brown. Here is my thinking. As the energy flows through the vine it HIT the contaminated area the rotted area and it carried on Bacteria into the pumpkin! Pumpkins can drink gallons of water a day! So think about it all that infected bacteria going into the pumpkin gallons a day. I opened the pumpkin up and oh boy i remember there was soup halfway filled up in the pumpkin! I can’t think of another way it could’ve been that soupy. There was no holes in the pumpkin and the bottom had no holes in it so that is the only way I can think on how it could’ve rotted.
