My 150 plant (1424.5 Montsma) is looking a tad under the weather. I think there's a 50/50 split that either:
A) The plant got bacterial wilt or some other wilting disease. There are no borer holes and no signs of fusarium.
B) This 90 degree day stressed the plants weak root system to its limit and we are seeing wilting as a result.
Either way, I watered the hell out of it and we will see if it recovers. If not, I will be in the market for an approx. 500lb pumpkin this halloween for my girlfriend's family's haunted house.
