9 DAP. Perceptible gains. Feeling heavy when I lift it and relieve the stem pressure from the vine. I am doing the last training to the pumpkin stem itself; inching the blossom end counter clockwise to get the pumpkin shoulders to that final 90 degree position relative to the vine. The blossom end looks good.

Applied more systemic insecticide drench and foliar fungus. Finished feeding the top half of the vine with buried 10–20-10 granuals, and then broadcast top dressed the bottom half with more granuals.

After all was said and done, I deep soaked the plot with overhead watering, and then we had a 2am storm bring us another 4/10” of rain. Woke up to big fruit gains and minor leaf curling so I know she is fed strong. Going to wait a few days before the next targeted foliar feed.

Only 7 more secondaries to go until full vine termination.

Getting ready for sink mode.
