Hi,
My son has a pumpkin that is about 30 days old. It is only gaining about 10 lbs a day. It has been real hot, between 95 and 102 the last 15 days or so. We have not had any wilt. What would be good to do to get it to put on more weight.
Thanks,
Doug

How much water are you giving it daily? Any regular fertilizing program?

I water every 5 days equivalent to 1" of rain fall. I very have been lightly folair feeding. Was hoping soil had all the stuff it needed. I am going to step up the feeding some.
