Hello all........ok just got back from vacation...and my babies are doing well. The growth rate seems to be about 3" per day..(now 54" circumfrance). Heres my question...Im seeing stretch marks on the lines runing from top to bottom . They are currently about a 1/4 wide...when I say stretch it really is the natural lines of the pumpkin but in this area they are much lighter..Should I not fertilize or is this normal..I would hate to quit the good growth Im happy with.,Your thoughts??????
PS...I havent hit them with MG for about 2 weeks and I want tooooooo.......heheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
