Maybe start some field pumpkin seeds and go for the Mass state record?

I want to make a bigger point of it, but to just reiterate is all that is necessary;
This is not to say it is a cure but I think certainly could be a problem across the board.
Good Luck, regardless---eric g

Looks a bit virus like but lack of calcium can look a bit like that also

Is zinc high in the soil?

Porkchop, Just posted a diary of my soil test results. My zinc levels are definitely high!! Dale, I do agree it definitely looks like some sort of virus.

Eric, Thanks for that link! I appreciate it. That is some good info so thank you! I do see how I was probably a bit low on my plant marvel with the first plants I had. Maybe it was contributing to the issue. I will say that it is interesting that even my smaller plants like the 839 now and 2181 showed these signs quicker. I feel like they should be doing just fine with a little fish and seaweed and some biologicals at this stage. It is interesting and a mystery that I will try to figure out! Wondering if my zinc levels may have something to do with it..
