Victor still has a lot of bulking up to do! Apparently his shoulders are growing faster than his neck and a couple of small stem splits were found when moving the fruit. Every really big pumpkin that I have ever grown has developed these stem splits to some degree between dap45-55. Yep, it scares me, but I sprayed the cracks with some hydrogen peroxide and just look forward to the next two and a half months of restless sleep.
