My main on the 1161 has split open lengthwise about 3 inches long. Has anyone grown a large pumpkin with this happening? It split at the 10 foot mark.

yep just cover the split with a board or wrap it in gauze to keep insects out. usually not a problem ---at all.

Also yes. I wrap with duct tape and bury it.

Is it split on the top or the bottom?? Had 2 to split on the bottom after a large rain last year. Both had close to 100 ponders on them. They stopped growing and eventually rotted.
