Is it common practice to cut off the main vine after the pumpkin to relieve some stem stress? I have cracks on both my primary pumpkin stems right now and I'm getting desperate to relieve as much stress as I can. I have already been raising the main vine at the pumpkins with styrofoam blocks.
thanks Dave
