Re: Where am I?

If you pollinated on July 13th, you are on day 31 for OTT measurements. It
doesn't really matter when you started the plant (at least from an OTT point
of view). Only matters when it was pollinated. the first day of growth is
after the pollination was a success, so day 0 is pollination, day 1 is the
first day after pollination.

You should maybe tie your feeding schedules to the time of year. For
example, late season calls for higher K. Whether your pumpkin is old or not,
when it is september, I think you may as well give some more K, since it
will stop growing soon.
