I have a 17 dap in my 150 sq foot area that is headed right over its back blossom side. Never had this so is there anything I do like mound up back side, break off button to relieve pressure when all the way over? Or just let it go? I have no idea on this, thanks.

Ive had my share of those luke.Keep it on sand so it can do what it wants.

Luke I had one start like that on me last year too. I had to put like 6'' of sand under the back side to level it. You want the stem and the lobes to be level. I was able to correct it and it grew into a nice shaped pumpkin.

listen to big moon. you can shape shift the pumpkin if you adjust pumpkins position on the ground.

being on sand will help it to slide instead of roll over, but if you pull pumpkin away from the vine every day, and like big moon and pap said, get the stem and blossom as level as you can and it will correct itself.
