I used fine powdered sulfur from Safer’s. I mix 1 tablespoon per liter (4 liters to a gallon - Canada eh) then agitate really well and spray all over leaves - top, underneath, stems, vines. I start early in season and do this weekly. I have minimal to no PM. Just came 1st in BC Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off with 1161 lb beauty. Good luck next year!

So I have a question I’m kinda new to this , I have 2 that’s just grew in the past couple of days and so far they have took flower is gone and they are doubling in size ,, Do I need to get rid of the secondary vines and the one that’s growing past these or leave them 🤷‍♀️ ❤

That’s bizarre on the 1707. The pumpkin that isn’t growing well and the pear shape on the new pumpkins must be related. Any theories?

@PumpkinCanadaMike 4 ай бұрын

I had those spots show up last year later in the season, was worried it might be start of fungal infection by the distribution, I dusted sulphur all over the pumpkin and it never came to anything. I spray sulfur solution on my leaves weekly and in soil and stems and have never had powdery mildew too.

She looks really good. I'm not growing giants, but volunteer decorative squash. Yep, last year's compost gave me some surprises- a Cinderella-shaped big orange and 2 pound green and yellow carnivals. I'm so impressed with the amount of care that goes into your single fruit.😊 I've only given water and some weed water fertilizer. So far, 5, 25 pounders and 17 of the littles.

Hi from italy! I've also got a 37 days old pumpkin that's maturing, right now it's around 550 pounds and growing about 30-ish a day. Seed was a 1632.5 Companion, very good looking plant (it's les than half the size of yours though!) but it's being attacked by lots of fungi and bacteria due to high humidity and temperatures these days... Anyway, good looking patch!

it should go 50 then 60s possibly 70s if it goes down after a week of 50s probably 2000 pounder but if it gets in the 60s and 70s you got a dandy you should get a week of 50s or more if not 2

I like the way you think however that’s not generally how things turnout in our climate. I am really envious of your weather. I will get a lot of those bigger numbers but for a shorter timeframe. I have never had a pumpkin grow more then 70-75 days it’s just to hot and humid. It’s July first and I have already had 14 days over 92 degrees.

Question❓️when did you start your patch this year geez mine is very small. I started germinating two months ago and planted them outside last month. Gosh the vines are already thick and running across your yard. I know I've been dealing with a bug problem a fungus problem their looking dark green now and healthier but how'd you get them to grow so good and fast?
