I found a bad area of rot last night on the 1885's main just a few nodes before the fruit. A leaf stalk had rotted and it spread to the vine. I cleaned it out and put a fan on it, it looks mostly dried today. About 1/3 of the main is gone though.

I only found it by chance after my hand touched something mooshy while I was putting a new sheet on the pumpkin. If I found it a day or two later it would've been the end of the road for it as there's no plant after that node, only pumpkin. I'll have to keep a better eye on the vines.
