Slow day for gains on the Eaton. Pictured above is the on on the main. Up 13-15 lbs from yesterday (approx weight 259). In the picture you can see how the pumpkin wants to grow over the vine. Like I said, lots of slack in that vine, it just does not want to lift. I measured the other one today and it is starting to pick up. looks like I had a couple of days of 20 lb gains because it is up from 168 two days ago to 209 lbs--an increase of 41 lbs over two days. This other one is getting some rust spots around the stem--not sure why. A little surprised that this one is starting to pick up again. I would really like to cut one off (the one on the secondary) but I don't have the guts right now to take the risk. I would also like to fertilize a little more, but I lack the courage to do this too as I don't want to risk any blowouts--so I continue with the small foliars from day to day.
