just seeing if anyone has ever had one stalled at day 10 for a few day's and have it start growing again? I doubt there is, but if there is what stalled you and how did you get her going again?

I see that you are spraying with Forchlorfenuron. I did this a few years ago and got nothing but deformed pumpkins, long gourds, big tomatoes etc. The only real benefit of Forchlorfenuron for me occurred when I sprayed it on a pumpkin that was about 30 days from my weigh off date. The skin became very pliable and the pumpkin gained considerable weight. I dosed the pumpkin with a pretty strong dose and gently rubbed it into the skin. Good luck.

Mr T I saw your pics in your diary and really hope that it starts going again. With a stem that fat it should be a big one.

I agree with you Donkin, but one has to have hope.

Thanks Big Dave, So far absolutely no decay or color change but also no growth of any sort for 3 days now. If she restarts it will be from the insane levels of my triple mix hormone Apple juice.

Funny, I set it on in extreme heat for the first 8 day's it was 35 + degrees here (Celsius), then it gets cool and aborts to that?

Mr. T, mine stalled around 5-6 dap, I could only contribute it to the huge amount of rain that we had, 6+ inches in a week. It's doing fine now.

if you have only one plant,if you arent successful at getting it to pick up....you havent lost anything. And alot to gain in knowledge. Your triple mix hormone apple juice wouldnt happen to be distilled would it. If so, might be illegal in usa.

I DID IT, I DID IT.

After 3 whole day's with out an 1/8" of growth. I was able to jump start her again with an over dose of my triple hormone mix. I got 2" C out of her last night. But I still will treat her as a heart attack victim that may not pull through. But for now I have a pulse. lol.
