Just asking if anyone has any special requirments when culling to their final pumpkin. I have two 5 lobed pumpkins pollinated on the 1647 Wallace at about 15 feet out. After a few aborts due to heat. I hope they take. So far so good in the hood. I just cant wait to see these bad boys take hold.Gotta see how it all goes. I should have another pollinated pn the 1789 at 20 feet due to more aaborts so i'm tuck with what that one gives me.

Take three days to do the job. Cut 1/3, 1/3, and then make the final cut. Each cut should be made in a wedge shape so the stem does not try to heal itself. This way the choicen one does not get a flood of nutrients from the other one being cut off all at once.
