I'm continuing to keep the patch on the dry side. No more 50 gal feedings. After the 2070 went down last week from disease, I backed way off and I continue to keep it that way with light feedings every few days. This is a risky strategy and tough balance as we don't want the pumpkin to split but is absolutely needed to keep the disease under control. I can't believe she's still doing 27-30 pounds a day
