Captain, I also have a blossom-end split on my 2363 Holland, in three different places. I applied sulfur powder and silicone caulk over the splits, in hopes of trying to keep it going for carving for Halloween. The upper split goes into the cavity. I'll pollinate the next one on the main, but I'll end up with a much smaller pumpkin that the one I had going. This is my only plant.
I'm wondering if my BES is caused by excessive watering in almost 100F temps, I noticed the split the next morning after watering three times the prior day. I cut back yesterday to watering twice a day and my pumpkin no longer looks like wants to eliminate my blossom all together. It's been a really weird season, I'll keep forging ahead and try again next year.
My maters are looking nice, Go Laughing Stalks go! Yeah, Dawn, don't overwater those either! lol
