I noticed what looks like a growth crack except it goes around the stem. The main vine was pretty tight on both sides of the stem even after pulling up some root nodes. So, I used some straps and pulled the pumpkin back about 3 or 4 inches. After that the main was noticeably looser on either side. The stem area was treated with 10:1 bleach solution, sulfur, and has a fan on it. Also, after looking at the pictures I see a small brown spot that I need to check on as well.

Is there anything else I should be doing? Think the pumpkin will make it? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
