I am not sure if this will help, but I have noticed here in Australia,
the growers who planted extra early, trying to get the extra time and
warmth to grow a giant, pumpkins have all matured and are starting to
rot. Whilst the ones who planted the usual time of October, are having
pumpkins maturing at the right time.

I have never found growing a Pumpkin for a long time to cause rot, I believe
it is due to improper fungus protection. I’ve found the opposite, a mature
hardened off Atlantic Giant lasts longer, just like a winter squash would. I
like to have then stop growing about a week before picking.
