Hi,

I just went out and checked on one of my pumpkins. The actual blossom on the pumpkin (20 dap) was developing a soft spot. My tissue test calcium levels were low, and I haven't fertilized at all recently except for calcium nitrate a few weeks ago and nutri cal last night. I wanted to start my fertilizer program back up now that I have a pumpkin set, but I probably waited too long. The blossom end walls of the pumpkin are still solid at this point. Is this blossom end rot? Is there anything I can do to stop it? Thanks.

Ashton I think you need to take a trip up the Calcium Highway.

Cut the blossom off and keep it dry.
