I have a pumpkin that I pollinated on 6/22. It grew to be 47inches in circumference. The last two days it has not grown. I'm not doing any thing different I feed it twice a week at half strength 20 20 20. The water level is constant and the plant looks healthy. I did remove a leaf on the main to make room for the pumpkin. I had the same thing happen to me last year. I than left another pumpkin grow down the main vine and it turned out fine. If any one has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be to drop a bit of the nitrogen and up the potassium. Maybe you are giving too much water! If your soil is a clay mixture then your probably only need to give it about an inch per week. Just make sure you are careful with the watering, beacause too much can be just as harmful as not enough. I learned this from experience.

The fertilizer shouldn't be doing that, musta started to rot.
