Not good!! Darn!. I lost my 2222 Gienger x 2501 Bernstrom due to a down under Bloosom end Split at est 1811 lbs via OTT. Blossom was `1.5 ft under and used mirrors to find it with regular weekly inspection. My estimates are that about 400 lbs of the pumpkin rind was free hanging over the blossom and this split was stress related. The overhanging portion still had another 6 inches to go before it hit ground. Loaded with seeds I planted some in the garden for a sprout test. Will know results shortly.
