Overall, the pumpkin and plant look good. It seems the plant is a little slow to fill-in the allowed space as some of the secondaries appear to have stunted. However, some triple 10 (10-10-10) was sprinkled on the main vine root nodes and each morning some water via a watering can has been added. This method has worked in the past to help kick start some secondary growth that seems to be slow or stunted.

If this is identified early and only a small sprinkle (about what three finders can pick-up) is added to the node at most there is the chance at helping to encourage growth while also minimizing the chance at burn or plant damage.
