My pumpkin had a growth rate of about 20.7 lbs/day 10 days ago and now the growth rate has slowed to about 8.5 lbs/day. It appears from observing other peoples charts that the growth rate typically declines over time. Is it possible to raise the growth rate by more watering or using other fertilizers? Or, is my growth rate destined to be 8.5 lbs/day or less going forward?

less going forward.this is the time of the season wnen just keeping the plant as healthy as possible, watering only as needed, and throwing in a couple more weekly folier fertalizer leaf sprays will keep her at her best.
