You gotta do what you gotta do to push this thing to the end!! The spots on the main vine are drying out nice with my powerful fans! Every morning there's a few spots that are a little wet so I repeat the process on those spots with a mixture of oxidate and water mixed together in a spray bottle. That kills any bacteria in seconds! Those fans won't move or turn off until the pumpkin gets harvested and I'm sure I will have more bad spots that show up. ! I can't take it easy with this soil disease! Fight fight fight! I'm sure those secondarys and portions of the main aren't doing much now but the pumpkin is still putting on 21 pounds a day. The fight will continue for another 36 days!
