Split! (Indoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg)

Well this is a bit disappointing to see. The indoor grown pumpkin has developed a blossom end split over the last 12-24hours. So, despite everything going so well up to this point it is amazing how quick the season can come to an end. However, to try and gain as much information as possible some trials will be run over the next two weeks to see how the plant/pumpkin respond since there is nothing to loose now.

Adjustments will be made to water, fertilizer and CO2 to try and see how the pumpkin growth may be impacted. These may not be formal tests, but now plans have to be made to take down the entire structure and supporting equipment during the heat of summer. Well, at least the days are long this time of year.
