Well, I am down to 4 lb/day on my fruit at day 67. The slowdown has been gradual but wanted to keep it going for at least 8 more days. Fruit high was 13 lb one day so this fruit is a slow grower by anyone's standards. Foliar indicated K was just fine but wondered if I should add a bit just as a final push.

Anything else you would all try?

Ben,

Once they slow down, jump startinbg growth by an means is very risky.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm proud of the work you've already done!

Ben,
Hopefully the slow grow translates to thick walls. Last year my pumpkin grew quite slowly, based on the estimated measurements. It ended up being over 25% heavy. Pesonally, I wouldn't do anything drastic to push growth, as it may increase the risk of splits.
