I have a pumpkin 10' out on a main that is close to 100# but looks like it is starting to be done(turning orange).
There is another out about 20' at about 30# also on the main. Am I right to cull the 100#er and let the smaller one grow? Dave

dave.....we were just driving by your house on a snoop mission about 2 weeks ago !!! we should stop by some time....email me or nick.

'how orange' is it turning and 'how many inches a day are you getting'. if its orange and you are getting 5 inches a day heck its not done!! looking done and being done are different. i'd measure both the 100 lber and the 30 lber for a week or so and see before making any drastic decisions. good luck !

Just went outside and checked my patch real quick then I ran back in as fast as I could when I seen a bolt of lightning 100 yards away,,,,,,,all my sweet corn that I put around my patch is laying flat on the ground but it did its job protecting most of my patch area,I still have a few broken leaves here and there from what i can see. Not sure about my corn though,dont know if standing it back up and mounding dirt at the base will save it or not,first year ever growing corn.
