How to fix stem cracks/splits, foaming stump & vine rot on Giant Pumpkins!

We have two giant pumpkins that have started cracking/splitting on their stems and are sapping really bad so we fix them and then we find a foaming stump and vine rot and we correct those issues as well!! #giant #giants #giantpumpkin #giantpumpkins #giantpimpkingrower #giantpumpkingrowers #giantpumpkingrowing #growinggiants #pumpkins #pumpkins #giantgrower #giantgrowers #garden #gardens #gardener #gardeners #gardening #singleseedchallenge2022

    If I gave a foaming spot on my stump that’s about 2 by 3 inches, what should I do?

    @@MobileMadness-wr1hh clean it out as good as you can and put a fan on it is all you can do. Try to make sure you have it rooted into the ground at all the leaf nodes to help keep the plant alive in case you lose the stump. If I have a foaming stump I quit watering for several days in the stump area, I also cover as much of the stump area as possible to ensure it stays dry in case it rains. I will scrape it out and spray a 5 part water to 1 part bleach solution on it and put a fan on it, I will spray that solution twice a day and scrape out any soft tissue and foam each time. The fan will stay on it the rest of the season though no matter what. Hope this helps and good luck!!😊😊

    I had to break down and buy the Opulent Boron you told me about. My big pumpkin has slowed down to about two pounds a day. I think it used up what potassium was in the soil and is now deficient. I hadn't been fertilizing as much as I should've been. I hope to bring it's gains back up between the boron and potassium. Have you experienced and dropped off in weight gains and been able to recover?

    Yes, I’ll try to find the video of one that had all but shut down and then picked back up but it was a issue with a main vine I think. It was down for I think 2 weeks, when it picked up it done good but was to late to get much out of her. Check your main and secondaries really good, foliar feed on the underside of the leaves for maximum uptake. You can drench it once or twice a week and foliar feed it two to three times a week. Potassium can be done like that but the boron can be once to twice a week foliar and once a week drench at recommended dose of 2.5 tablespoons per gallon.
