Hey monster growers....My biggest pumpkin on the 896 Wells has a twisted stem. Is that gonna be a problem?
I've been moving the pumpkin about 1/4 of an inch a day to get it perpendicular to the vine, and just noticed that it's stem is twisted this moanin'. It's over 30 inches around now, and doesn't seem stressed at all. Should i just leave it alone?..................Cuzbiker

Yo Cuz,
As long as the stem has no splits it should be fine...just test that it has a bit of movement and that its not kinked..all will be fine.
