I've got a nice looking pumpkin at day, estimated 200 pounds. Definitely looks like it's going to grow over its blossom end. Can't decide if I should ramp it or leave it alone. Any advice?

I'm trying Styrofoam under the fruit,,,, via cecils hypothesis.Its working so far.I like to keep the blossom from tucking under if possible. Id ramp yours butt up.

Go to the Howard Dill site. They made a sit down spot on the 1295 Anthems. Grew around the blossom end and looks like it made a perfect bean bag chair. Nice and orange also. Nice genetics also.

i always felt a tucked in blossom may not be as pretty but you also are less apt to blow a blossom when its tucked in.never worried about rons second wr because of that.

will state though that ramping up the blossom end will help eliminate early blossom tuck as joe mentioned however, would expect some tuck once she starts getting the big daily gains.

Sometimes they just go over. I tried to ramp on my 2185. It's over completely now, and on styrofoam. Actually both my fruits are over now so I hope you are right pap. :)

Is the pumpkin sliding ? If not that would be the cause
