I have a pumpkin that I believe stopped growing day 6 it is a couple days later now and it still hasn’t grown but doesn’t show signs of any problems. No apparent bugs that I can see and the pumpkin isn’t soft or a odd shape. It is still shiny and doesn’t look like it’s shrivv up like some pumpkins that are going to abort will. Does anyone know what may have caused this and if I have to be worried about this happening to the pumpkin I am pollinating tommorow?

...double check that there’s is pollen(powder) in the males you are using tomrw...if it’s going to be hot, need to keep that new one cool ...

Sorry to hear about your current situation. I have had pumpkins stall out for 48 hours or so. Hopefully, everything will start again. Best of luck.

I had to go away for three days and I think the hottest it got was in the 90s one day. I had the pumpkin shaded though so I don’t think that was a problem. Thank you for the responses
