I recently got 3 females on 3 different vines.

One seems growing the other two seem stunted or stuck.

They are too close on the vines to keep but should I cull the two that are not growing and cut the vines?

Thanks

Two pumpkins are 5 days old and 1 is 2 days old

Ideally you want to have your pumpkin set on the main vine, but it is getting pretty late in the game to be cutting off pumpkins without having a main set up and running. I would leave them all on for the next 15 days and see which ones take, then make my decision on which one to keep based on size, rate of growth, and vine position.

It will take 3 to 4 days for the new pollination's to hit the ground. things move really slow the first 10 days.

good luck

Thanks for the advice.

I would say the biggest one is the size of a ping pong ball and not on the main.

They are also about only 5-6 feet out from the stump.

I got a late start this year
