We had two cold nights in a row 35F and 40F, now a warming trend. What is the best way to get the kin growing again? I'm thinking some N, perhaps Calcium nitrate and Phosphite + tea. Only 3 weeks to weigh off and we want to keep it growing. Any input would be appreciated. Pumpkin is under White blankets and had portable heater going the past two nights. Thanks.

Try some Humic & Fulvic acids. Daily foliar feed as much as possible.

put a pinch of calcium in your foliar feed,with glycine amino acids.Calcium uptake also fights powdery mildew.

Crack a cold one, and weight until weigh off day. You can not do much more than you are currently doing, with out putting up a hoop house.

I'm already cracking many cold ones, so I've got that covered as well. The nights are now near 50F and days 80+. I'll try a little Humid and Fluvic acids and daily foliar feed, including some Calcium Carbonate. Thanks for the input and Good Luck to all.

I use Companion regularly every 10 days or so and that has really solved the Powdery Mildew problem. I like it much better than Actinovate.
