One pumpkin unfortunately will not be heading to the weigh-off. We Split Up. It had a growth split , I made the captan fungicide paste and used a fan 24/7. This fixed the issue. No soft spot. A week later I went out and it spit again. Did the paste again.. to stop any issues , fans..... all seemed fine. This Friday went the patch in the morning to cover the pumpkins , and a completely different area had a soft spot. Game over! It really is too bad because the vines are still health and the pumpkin is solid on the top and side. The front was the week spot. Dirty Darn..
