onew of my flag pattern plants has a main about 14' long now and a female at about 12' which should get pollinated in the next couple days.

the secondary vines on this flag plant are reaching 10' long and each secondary has a female about 8-10' out shich will get pollinated maybe middle next week.
total females are about 7-8

the first secondary vine...the one which comes out of the crown has a female about 10' out. should i cull this fruit now since there arent many leaves ebhins it, if any?


any advice on which fruit to pollinate.....?????

Are you asking about pollenating a backup to the one on the main?

id pllinate the main and only only a couple side vine fruits . then if the side vine and main fruits take keep the main vine fruit and o n l y one side vine pumpkin as a back uo.
actually it would be ideal to have the secondary backup pumpkin either right after the main pumpkin or on a side just after the main vine pumpkin.
