I trimmed off P1, the first pollination. At DAP 4 it had zero swelling, zero gain since day 2.

Hopfully P2 gets the message lol. The vine is 75% filled in, and starting to terminate secondaries laden with tiny fruit.

Sunday I put out about 7 cups of 10-20-10 granular, stabbing a deep hole into the ground and working it in 2 tablespoons at a time. Did this in about 50 holes around the stump, main, and inbetween the secondaries up until the first fruit on the main. It was my first time feeding the entire plot in this way. One more wow pack got buried 3 nodes before the P2 node, and then I soaked the entire plot by hand. The soil was dryyyyy.

I foliar fed tonight with Max Sea Grow and chelated Calcium. Set up the mill fabric into place and trimmed the leaf and tendril at the P2 node. I will start bending the main tomorrow in the heat to make a “drip loop” shape with the pumpkin nicely perpendicular to the main AND the secondary at the fruit node. I won’t have to trim any secondaries off this time.
