After pollinating, how long does it need to "take". My situation is my 2 year old ripped off the blossom/segments of the pollinated flower tonight thursday after I pollinated it Tuesday morning and I'm wondering if it will still grow? The golf ball sized pumpkin is fine but the flower is gone. It had a little over 2 days to "take".

Keep pollinating other flowers, if that one does'nt take you can go to the next one you pollinated.

It should be ok, but should spray daconil or similar on tear,, light mixture as not to burn , atleast wash with spray bottle 5% bleach & water !
