I am growing Jack-O-Lantern (Conneticut Feild) Pumpkins and I Miracle Grow them once a week. The main vine is about 4 feet long. Should I be doing this more then once a week? How much do I give each plant? How many scoops? Thanks

Rule of thumb is one gallon per 10 sqft thats 1 scoop per gallon. Good luck!

I am growing the same type, haven't used any fertiziler yet, but plan on getting some Miracle Grow this week. Glad I waited though, I just did a major pruning job, and now the Miracle grow will help the pumpkins I have not the runner vines.
H-K-J, my second one just set this past Sat. how soon could I out down the miracle grow, and would it be okay to just put it on the established pumpkin (10 days old)?...Karen

I fertilized last night with Miracle gro, I hope not to late, my conneticut field is still going slow, and has started to turn orange, the Conneticut Field, pollinated with Big max is still growing by leaps and bound, fertilized last night at about 7pm and at 1pm today it had grow 2 more inches. Plumppumpkin are your conn. fields still growing.
