Mike - Tank is looking like a classic "Emmons" style pumpkin. How big is the vine anyways? From the picture it appears to be Huge!

What are you feeding it?!?

Congrats so far and Hope it gets much Bigger.

Sorry to report that Tank has more or less QUIT growing. Not sure exactly why, but slowed WAY down. Yes the vine is HUGE. As far as food, little to nothing. Was giving Miracle Grow every sunday is all. My goal now is just to keep it untill October, wonder if this CAN be done? Mike

Mike just some questions:
Has the weather been cool in Iowa?
Is the main still growing? Looks like you have a decent 10 day fcst. with good temps. I think the 80/60 degree weather is perfect.

Just once a week fert....is that triple 20?
It's only 46 days old.

Just my newbie opinion but I think you got a little more growin' to do. Good Luck with making it to Oct.

P.S. Hi Judy!
