Yo Gus,
I've tried that as well. That dont work either, in fact its worse,
your pumping something into the plant that it does not want, it makes its
own sugars at the roots. Its like giving it a blood transfusion with battery
acid. Is the needle clean? What about the hole the needle leaves? God man
you could be done for first degree murder on a defenceless pumpkin or
squash.
