July is in the books. Let's say you have several solid efforts going. What do you do, feeding wise, to keep them going strong?

Last year I had two good ones going. One of them missed a shift and limped home, the other went on for a personal best. Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this. Grow em big.

I would appreciate people's thoughts on this topic as well. I have become an expert over the years at growing pumpkins where the growth completely peters out during mid to late August

Lol sorry I dodged you cliff. It is not lack of fertilizer that makes them slow and crap out in my patch. Maybe the roots are rotting. Disregard that last statement please.

Keep them moist not wet moist no sudden surges in the water helps a lot... Go to a regular feed schedule and stick to it.... I rotate.. Ferts, chemicals, biologicals, hormones, water... The rotation never stops unless we get rain which I have not seen much of. The big wheel keeps on spinning
