http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=22659. This picture is from my 880. The main has been broken, how I have no clue. These are the only 2 pumpkins on the main, they are the same age. should I just get it over with and cull the smaller one? It looks like they are causing stress already and I dont want to cause any more problems.
Thanks BuddyG

Buddy, I would wait at least another week myself. I think they are still to small to cause any problems with vine or stem stress yet. When you do decide to cull one of them, besides size, don't forget to take into consideration shape, length/condition of the stem, and position to the vine.

best of luck!

Happened to my 880 fruit too... Hmm. Sorry man, I'm bummed too. Check out my diary and see if it's the same.

It keeps getting worse, I think I may be forced to go with this secondary that I was saving to take over as the Main. I think I can still grow a very competitive pumpkin this way.
