Problem
Hello group,
I Have one plant which has quit growing and the end of the vines appeared
to be stunted with light green leaves. I have small pumpkins (blooms not yet
open) on the end of 5 vines from this pumpkin it is a pretty big plant. The
rest of my plants look fantastic, and they have all been treated the same
except the one with the problem was planted about three weeks earlier. The
older leaves look good and green it is just the new growth which has been
affected. Any thought would be appreciated.
