The 2nd kin is doing an impressive 15 lbs per day and just reached 200 lbs. I could be wrong but I dont think its detracting from the main pumpkin. There is a lot of plant in between them. I think it is however keeping the extra suckers under control, which is great. The rampant growth coming from the stump seems to now be tamped down/ mollified/ subdued. Choose your verb. I could hope that both ends of the plant are doing 15 lbs per day, but coming up on DAP 90, so thats wishful thinking.

Will probably keep adding boron and calcium and some epsom salt. I could add npk too, but I think the n and k are fine still, so I think its basically got what it needs already. If I wanted a different growth trajectory, the time to make that happen wouldnt be now; it was 3 months ago.
