First day of the season that registered with no growth on the main fruit--still at 600 lbs--disappointing, but I did cut back on water quite severely because of the stem splits that started. I will increase the water again tomorrow.

The secondary fruit with all the gapping stem splits is at 416 lbs. This is up 90 lbs from 12 days ago when it was 316--looks like the splits really slowed this one down as it averaged only 7.5 lbs/day over the last 12 days. Perhaps my other pumpkin is experiencing the same effect? Perhaps it has stopped growing? Just have to wait and see I guess.
