my two plants have leaves that are wilting. they seem to deteriorate at the junction of the stalk and the vine. also have lost a few grapefruit size pumps to mold or rotting. can anyone tell me whats wrong. also have a nice 38" in circ. pump going. growing almost an inch a day. how to i compute to figure out its weight? I am new to this so any help is appreciated.

SuzeeQ,

We need more information.

Pictures?

Could be as simple as drought or as complex as Bacterial Wilt, any of a number of nasty Viruses or any of several root & vascular diseases.

Could it be Fusarium Tremor?

SuzeeQ,
Go to the "How To" section of this site, the second topic is "How to estimate weight...". This will explain everything about how to estimate your weight.
