Dang it, that is frustrating. I think you are right there, the best growers walk that tight,narrow line.

I think too much water is a legit theory. The patons have said the opposite though.

That makes me cringe. The great thing about early pollinations is that there is still time to set another one.

Been there and done that. Sorry Dave...:(

At your level it's usually a water issue. I know how dialed in your nutrients are.

It hurts to look at.

I've reduced water by 40%. I have some areas in my patch where roots are coming out of the soil. I think that's a good indication of too much water. Maybe #2 will be luckier. Thanks for all the tips and espescially Curtlave.

Really sorry to see this Dave. I had a set of pumpkins one season that did this at around the same size. Up to that point I hadn't added boron during the season. To much water hadn't seemed to be the problem to me. I started adding borax/solubor to my water about once a week and haven't experienced it again (touch wood). Good luck

Well. I’ll drink a beer and salute that fruit that lived too short of life.
Hopefully you can get another one on that plant. Worth a shot.
