Causes for Hollow Pumpkin

So far, without a soil test, I have found the following reasons for a hollow
giant:  Too much nitrogen at the beginning of the fruits development;  not
enough boron; not enough calcium;  not enough watering followed by too much
watering.  If I  can perfect growing hollow giant pumpkins so they don't
collapse, jack-o-lantern carving will never be the same. :-)  Steve M.
