Here's my dilema, I'm sitting on a pumpkin that is growing in my books as a first year grower excellent. Has been on average putting on 2.5" circ. daily and averages 19lbs per day. Today he is at day 41 post pollination and has a circ. of 109".
Some stats- Growing location average days from pollination to harvest 75days.
- Provincial record 693.5lbs
- inches remaining to obtain 700lbs and record 38"
- current daily growth 2.5" circ.
- daily average circ. needed to obtain 38" 1.03" per day
- day 63 hits 147.5" at current growth rate and factoring in a drop to one inch per day at day 50
My problem is the pumpkin around his blossom end and all the minor cracking and ozzing. his ribs have just begun to start filling out and he is still quite yellow, should I do something to slow him down or just cross my fingers.
