noah at 22.5 days old this evening is 96+63.5+61=220.5 OTT or estimated at 233 lbs. this morning was the first time in 13 days that it did not grow over 5 inches in one day, but it did grow 4.5 inches. so it made a very nice 5 inch a day run and has built itself a solid foundation with a protruded lower ass forming too. now i hope i can keep it continually growing strong and steady and in tact. it has some minor surface weeping along small surface splits at the newly forming rib lines. these heal up quickly and dry up just like its mama last year. with humid conditions right now, i still take a smooth papered instruction booklet and place captan on the middle pages and then use a turkey baster to blow a fine powder captan covering over this sap to prevent any rot spores from catching hold on the minute surface weeping areas. speaking of hot and humid, i will be getting out the banner baxx systemic fungicide this weekend now that the pumpkins are over 2 weeks old. this is powdery mildew weather approaching for certain.
