							| I think I would have been better off to not dead-end.  The goal of a smaller plant could be acheived by limiting the growth at the back if the plant but allowing/keeping more growth at the pumpkin.  I am unsure if xylem or phloem is limiting.  The vines certainly need both.  Some nutrients do not enter the phloem very well, but yet... the pumpkin may rely entirely on phloem? |  |  |
